Better
than if there were thousands
of meaningless verses is
one
meaningful
verse
that on hearing
brings peace.
And better than chanting hundreds
of meaningless verses is
one Dhamma-saying
that on hearing
brings peace.
-Dhammapada, 8, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
Namaste
Peace and Love

Every thought
is like
a wave, a ripple
a turbulence
on a pool of water.
A disturbance
to tranquility.
To escape thought
is to be tranquil,
peaceful, calm
and composed.
And then..
Understanding,Insight, Rapture,
Enlightenment and
Nirvana

Latley - I have kind of a funky "mantra" - but it's working for me. It is:
"Wow! Some people see things so much differently than I."
It brings lots of peace.
Namaste!

“You are all multi-dimensional realities. You are learning to use your consciousness to become conscious co-creators of your own reality"
I don't know where this quote came from.
A good friend used to repeat this to me until I memorized it. A thousand pictures come to mind when I hear it.
