The past is only an unreliable memory held in the present.
The future is only a projection of our present conceptions.
The present itself vanishes as soon as we try to grasp it.
So why bother with attempting to establish an illusion of solid ground?

As we honor the birth, enlightenment, passing of the Buddha, may we walk Noble Path with mindfulness and compassion, and may merit of our prayers extend to all beings without exception. May the light of Buddha's enlightenment shine upon all corners of world, dispelling anger, hatred, ignorance.

All conditioned phenomena
Are like dreams, illusions , bubbles 🫧, or shadows 🌒;
Like drops of dew, or flashes of lightning ⚡;
Thusly should they be contemplated.

All the while, may we be uncorrupted
By thoughts of the eight worldly concerns.
With a mind that knows all things to be illusions,
Free of clinging, may we be liberated from the fetters.

There are three kinds of karma: good, bad, and neutral. What determines which kind of karma it is isn’t just the action in and of itself but the aim and intention behind it, and in awareness of what we have done.

In this book, H.H. the Dalai Lama opens his heart & history like never before, sharing personal, spiritual, & historical reflections on his struggle for Tibet & its people for nearly 75 years after China’s invasion of Tibet in 1950s.

In dependent arising, there is no ceasing, no arising, no annihilation, no permanence, no coming, no going, no separateness and no sameness. I prostrate to the consummate Buddha, the supreme among all teachers, the one who taught [this] peace, which is free of elaborations.

Avalokiteshwara, Bodhisattva of Compassion or Chenrezig, embodies compassion of all Buddhas. Bodhisattva: Selfless being who has cultivated bodhicitta & completed journey towards nirvana, but delays their attainment of enlightenment to help all beings achieve liberation.

May all sentient beings be endowed with happiness! May they all be separated from suffering and its causes! May they be endowed with joy, free from suffering! May they abide in equanimity, free from attachment or aversion.
