If you want to walk fast, you may walk alone,  

Walking alone is not hard, but walking with someone, then coming back alone is difficult. So if you want to walk a distant, we walk together. 

When people choose to walk out of your life, let them go. Your destiny is not meant to the one that leaves you. Sometime it’s better to walk alone than with a wrong crowd and with a wrong direction. 

Do not judge someone’s path if you have not walked their journey. Stop letting people that do a little thing for you, and controlling so much of your mind, feelings and emotions. Yes, other people may be there to help us, teach us, guide us along our path, but the lesson to be learned is always ours.  

Happiness is a journey and not a destination. Take the right steps and with a little persistent, little more efforts. To us what seemed to be a hopeless failure, may well turn to a glorious success, so remember if you want to predict your life, the better way is to create it. 

No matter what sort of problems you experience, instead getting nervous and fearful, sit back, relax and be as silent as possible. In this way you will be able to see reality and understand the root of the problems. 

Now close your eyes, for a while and take a close look at whatever you consider your biggest problem to be. Shot down your senses perception as much as possible, remain completely silent and with meditative wisdom thoughts, investigate your mind. 

Where do you hold the ideas of “your problem” It is in your brain? Your stomach? Your heart? Where is that idea of problem? If you cannot find it, do not intellectualize, just relax. If miserable thoughts or bad ideas arise, just watch how they come and how they go. 

Do not react emotionally, By practicing this way, you can see how the weak, unskillful cannot face problems, but your silent mind of skillful wisdom face any problem bravely, conquer it and control all your emotional and agitated state of mind.   

Thank you for reading, may you find peace and great bliss. With your support it helps to spread the Buddha’s precious teachings and turning the Dharma wheels in the world.

Aspiration For Bodhichitta

For those in whom the precious Bodhichitta has not arisen

May it arise and not decrease

But increase further and further.

Nagarjuna's Dedication of Merit

By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.

Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.

May we liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.

With its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
