“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."

Happy Birthday Anna!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Thank you so much, everybody! :heart: How lovely to come here and see my Dhammafriends congratulating me!

So far, it's been a wonderful day with friends and family calling and coming by. Am very happy about this. Hope the rest will be nice too.

I'm very thankful for your good wishes! :group:

Peter, that was perfect Bavarian! :D Where did you learn this!

Alan, glad you enjoyed it! Did you watch it on DVD, like me?

Manapa, will watch the video, but I still don't have any speakers, damn...now I definitely have to buy some, why not tomorrow!

All, thanks again, you gave me joy and happiness, will seek to be mindful and return it!

Love ya all,

Anna :anjali:
