peace

If you want to be loved, LOVE. If you want to be understood, UNDERSTAND. If you want peace, MAKE PEACE. If you want light, LIGHT. If you want to be seen, SHINE. If you want to be heard, LISTEN. You can only take so much, you gotta give. YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU GIVE. ~ UNIVERSE LOVES YOU & SO DO I _ #StardustAK _

There is a light that can only be found on the other side of darkness, there is a peace that can only be found on the other side of struggle, there is a faith that can only be found on the other side of doubt, and there is a healing that can only be found on the other side of pain.

when you pick a flower, you become so besotted in its beauty; you dare not judge how it became that way, let it be the same lesson for humans; Spread your light, not your pain.

Let us be a messenger of peace and illuminate the world with the lights of our love.

It is of the greatest important in this world that a man should know himself, and the measure of his own strength and means; and he who knows that he has not a genius for fighting must learn how to govern by the arts of peace.

The path towards peace is not for the righteous, the ethical, the active and the compassionate to shit on the malicious, the complacent, the violent and the ignorant. The path towards peace is to be peaceful.

You have a unique body and mind, with a particular history and conditioning. No one can offer you a formula for navigating all situations and all states of mind. Only by listening inwardly in a fresh and open way will you discern at any given time what most serves your healing and freedom.

I don__ know where I__ going on this path. I don__ know what I__ doing with my life. You had to be lost, before you could be found. These are the truths. You had to be confused, before you could find clarity; you had to suffer, before you could find peace. These were the only ways, life could happen. Of course you were confused before you found clarity. If you weren't confused, then you would already be clear. Of course you were lost before you were found. If you were already found, then you wouldn't be lost. Of course there would be suffering before peace. If there was already peace, then there wouldn't be suffering. One necessarily came before the other.

You will bring yourself the suffering you need to bring yourself so that you may awaken.

You necessarily have to be lost, before you__e found.

Maybe it__ something which can__ be defined,_ Enso Roshi says. __aybe it__ a question, to be lived.

It is the rub that polishes the jewel,_ Enso Roshi says. __obody ever gets to nirvana without going through samsara. Nobody ever gets to heaven, without going through hell. The center of all things, the truth, is surrounded by demons.

I meditateSo that I can inundateMy entire beingWith the omnipotent power of peace.

A peaceful mind appreciates the present moment as the living embodiment of naked perfection, rather than a means to future attainment.

When you can no longer tell the difference between being yourself and being love, you are not far from waking up.

Hundreds of wise men cannot make the world a heaven, but one idiot is enough to turn it into a hell.

Although we may wish for more or strive to do better than we have, in these times it is enough to keep your soul.

It is the garden of peace you seek, but it is not a tangible place that exists in the world _ it is within. Go there, within.
