’No one is born hating another person because of the colour of their skin, or their background, or their religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.' 

Nelson Mandela

'The Tale Of The Self-Cherishing Mind'

All as one

Two base desires

To be always happy

To be free from all forms of suffering

The miracle mind opened to truth . . 

Are we really the one more equal than others?

The self-cherishing mind, our most ardent advisor

Its mission, complete self-fulfilment, no less will do

Of all others, the Self sublime

Delusion To Be Abandoned

As the players of 

Self-Cherishing Un-United 

take to the pitch

All have but one goal in mind

To keep the ball for themselves

The game is a disaster

As one military action draws to a close, over a hundred other wars continue to rage with the guarantee of fresh conflicts arising soon.

Leaving behind the wreckage of untold agony in their wake. Mothers, Fathers and Children will continue to bury their loved ones, left forever broken hearted and destroyed. 

Victims of the demon of the self-cherishing mind.

From self-cherishing arises disappointment, jealousy, 

resentment, pain, anger, suffering . .

The list goes on and on . . . .

From cherishing others, release from these foes.

Their joy from being Loved

Yours from giving Love and joy

With seeds sown in virtuous soil,

 the most beautiful flower is on its way

Water with kindness

From the momentary cause arises the momentary effect 

transformed into the subsequent momentary cause

On and on and on into your eternal future

Your virtuous heart guiding you onward to Nirvana 

Our existence today is completely dependent upon our previous causes and their subsequent effects. Up until now, we have all been prisoners to our self-cherishing mind, believing that by following its whispers we will attain the happiness for which we all so desperately long . . . . 

Meditation

Sitting in a comfortable, relaxed posture where you're unlikely to be disturbed.

Allow the flow of the breath to make its mark at the tip of your nostrils.

Cooler as it enters, subtle as it departs.

Place your attention single-pointedly on this sensation to the exclusion of all thoughts.

When you notice that your mind has wandered, return your focus back to the sensation of the breath.

{ With repeated practice, 

Inner Peace will arise }

Enjoy

With Your Mind Of Inner Peace

As you inhale, imagine that you are taking into your heart all the pain and suffering of all living beings

As you exhale, imagine that you are breathing out your own happiness and bestowing it on the minds of all living beings

This practice is called 

Taking and Giving on the breath

The Uprooting Has Begun

Your participation in the spread of 

'The Pandemic Of Peace'

is of paramount importance

Without your participation World Peace cannot and will not arise

Via word of mouth and social media, for the sake of

 World Peace & Harmony

Let's begin the conversation

Let's spread the word(s) . . . .
