The mind is everything.
What we think we become.”

For hate is never conquered by hate.
Hate is conquered by love.
This is an eternal law.

I am one
Who eats his breakfast,
Gazing at the morning-glories

O Snail,
Climb Mount Fuji
But slowly, slowly!

K.Isha

Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves.

Thich Nhat Hahn

” Confused by thoughts,
we experience duality in life.
Unencumbered by ideas,
the enlightened see the one Reality.”

– Hui Neng
