  • Quote of the Day 24APR 2014 – Violent

      “When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent?

  • Poetry For Monday 14 April 2014 ~ I Have No Name

                            I have no name, I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains. I have no shelter; I am as the wandering waters. I have no sanctuary, like the dark gods; Nor am I in the shadow of deep temples. I have no […]

  • Mindful Quote(s) of the Day 07APR 2014 – Suffering

    “People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.” “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over.

  • Rumi Poetry of the Day 02APR 2014 ~ Guest House

    This being human is a guest-house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, Who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture. Still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing […]

  • Mindfulness of Life – Poetry of the Day 25MAR 2014

    When we understand that life is short and Time is precious and if we will have developed Some understanding of the Dharmma and life wisdom, It becomes more precious.

  • Happiness Quote of the Day 21 March 2014 – Mental Habits

    We have negative mental habits that come up over and over again. One of the most significant negative habits we should be aware of is that of constantly allowing our mind to run off into the future. Perhaps we got this from our parents.

  • An open letter to the people who hate Obama more than they love America

    Hello world… I take great pride in the accomplishment of keeping politics away from my facebook. Sometimes I just need to vent and hope and hope and hope, some people… some of my friends, will sit down and learn for themselves all of contemporary US history and not what you are told (repeatedly) by revisionists, […]

  • Q/A of the Day ~ How Can You Create a Universe From Nothing?

    “How can you create a universe from nothing? Well if you calculate the total matter of the universe it is positive. If you calculate the total energy of the universe it is negative because of gravity. Gravity has negative energy. When you add the two together what do you get? Zero, so it takes no […]

  • Marc’s Mindful Thought of the Day 10Mar 2014 ~ Compassion

    Cultivation of compassion is not something you can just snap your fingers and obtain. Being compassionate towards others is something that has to come from mindfulness. Mindfulness keeps you in the present moment with focus on only the current moment. Avoiding negative thoughts and focusing attention only on the present moment, not what will happen […]

  • Quote of the Day 08 March 2014 – New Religion

                            “First dentistry was painless. Then bicycles were chainless, Carriages were horseless, And many laws enforceless. Next cookery was fireless, Telegraphy was wireless, Cigars were nicotineless, And coffee caffeineless. Soon oranges were seedless, The putting green was weedless, The college boy was hatless, The […]
