People can only meet you at the depth of their own perception
Their inability to perceive your greatest gifts is not your problem. They are energetically limited, and those limits are reflected in their perceptive limitations.
To release your desire to be understood is to be free. Those with the capabilites to understand your gifts will naturally find their way into your life
But in order for that process to happen - you must gaspedal your gifts, with zero concerns for understanding, comprehension or alignment
Shine your light, and refuse to dim it - and those who can see it will find you
Buddha’s Birthday talk as abbot:
upon the sacred truth that because I exist, in turn - you exist and because you exist, I too exist: we learn to let go of the Three Poisons: greed, anger, and ignorance, and instead cultivate compassion and wisdom.
Looking at the lotus lanterns lovingly hung across these sacred grounds today, they are not just tiny flames flickering in the wind. They are the burning light of our earnest vow to dispel the darkness and resentment lurking within our hearts. When we calm the rough waves inside ourselves and attain peace of mind, the very place where we stand becomes a fragrant Pure Land.
On this sacred day of the Buddha’s birth, I hope we may also light the lotus lanterns within our own hearts, so that their warmth may extend beyond ourselves and illuminate the world around us.
May you all attain enlightenment. 🙏
Always assume that things will always work In your favor and like magic they always do
It’s like you warp reality around ur belief
Act as if you have everything you want and you get everything you want
It’s psychology not magic
But it feels like magic since it always works
All it takes is to remember where you stand.
To walk in this world is to take strides upon the roof of hell.
Why would you surrender to a despair that finds its rightful place beneath your feet.
Do not forget you have been given dignity in all of your steps.
