Use the moments, days, years of your life to become wiser and more at home in the world by paying attention to what is happening right now. We can aspire to be kind right at this moment, to relax and open out heart to what is right in front of us right at this moment.
Flowers can make you smile, their beauty is delicate and you cannot alter their nature. Their tenderness arouses feelings of mercy, compassion and understanding. They are fragile, ephemeral and uncompromising. Take the time to appreciate their beauty in the midst of temporality.
Surrendering to the flow of life, giving up all concepts, judgements and desires, your mind will become naturally compassionate. The more we can let go of things, the more present they become and the clearer our insight becomes to the truth of life.
In times when opposition prevails, mistakes can be avoided if you do not try to bring about unity by force; by so doing you only achieve the contrary. If we are estranged by a misunderstanding, people will return of their own accord if we leave matters up to them.
Quote: Simple for me may be difficult for others.
