The Four Immeasurable Meditations

May all beings be happy and have the causes of happiness; May they be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow; May they have that great happiness which is sorrowlessness.
May they leave attachment to dear ones and aversion to others and live Believing in the equality of all that lives.

"There is no emotion that you cannot be rid of, because emotions are simply thoughts, and thoughts are just like the wind moving through the empty sky. There is nothing to them."

„Es gibt keine Emotion, von der man sich nicht lösen kann, weil Emotionen einfach Gedanken sind, und Gedanken sind wie der Wind der sich durch den leeren Himmel bewegt. An ihnen ist nichts.“

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

All the joy the world contains

Has come through wishing happiness for others

All the misery the world contains

Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself.

Shantideva

Erweitere deine Erfahrung...

Erweitere deine Erfahrung und verweile weit und offen wie der Himmel.
Erhöhe deine Aufmerksamkeit und verweile durchdringend wie die Erde.
Festige deine Achtsamkeit und verweile unerschütterlich wie ein Berg.
Erhelle deine Beobachtung und verweile leuchtend wie eine Flamme.
Kläre deine gedankenfreie Wachsamkeit und verweile klar wie ein Kristall.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and Remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, For even the dull and ignorant; have their stories. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, for they are a vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, Gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in times of sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; You have a right to be here. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you might conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life Keep peace with your soul. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

"I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind."

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart..."

„Nicht außerhalb, nur in sich selbst soll man den Frieden suchen. Wer die innere Stille gefunden hat, der greift nach nichts, und der verwirft auch nichts.“
