the wise person puts himself last

please donate to world central kitchen

 

Heaven is

eternal, earth everlasting.

They endure this way because

they do not live for

themselves.

 

In the same way,

the wise person puts himself

last, and thereby finds himself first;

holds himself outside, and thereby

remains at the center; abandons

himself, and is thereby

fulfilled.

the search for happiness

grace

 

The search

for happiness is not

about looking at life through

rose-colored glasses or blinding oneself

to the pain and imperfections of the world.

Nor is happiness a state of exultation

to be perpetuated at all costs; it is

the purging of mental toxins,

such as hatred and

obsession.

 

Matthieu Ricard

insight is a function of the spirit

papa

 

Intellectual

knowledge exists in

and of the brain. Because the brain is

part of the body, which must one day expire,

this collection of facts, however large

and impressive, will expire

as well.

 

Insight,

however, is a function of

the spirit. Because your spirit follows

you through cycle after cycle of life, death,

and rebirth, you have the opportunity of cultivating

insight in an ongoing fashion. Refined over time,

insight becomes pure, constant, and

unwavering. This is the beginning

of immortality.

to follow tao without straying

stay stoked

 

In

governing people

and serving heaven, there

is nothing better than moderation. 

To be moderate is to follow Tao without straying. 

To follow Tao without straying is to become filled with

good energy. To be filled with good energy is to

overcome all things. To overcome all things

is to know that all things are possible. 

She who knows that all things are

possible is fit to govern

people. 

 

Because

she is one with the mother, 

her roots go deep, her foundation

stands firm, her life lasts

long, her vision

endures.
