BEING GRATEFUL IS MY GOLDEN STAIRCASE TO HEAVEN
On this beautiful new morning
With all its potential and possibilities,
I am seeing clearly that consciously practicing gratitude
For even the tiniest good things in my life
Is like always climbing a golden staircase
That rises in front of me wherever I go—
Which takes me ever higher into a peaceful haven
Of contentment and personal satisfaction that is
Unbelievably precious and can be reached only by
Constantly saying “Thank You for all Your blessings!”
—Poetry and photo by Chinmayan
OPEN THE EYES OF YOUR HEART
TO SEE THE BEAUTY ALL AROUND YOU
“We are surrounded by beauty
that is ours to enjoy if we
can open our hearts, minds
and spirits to experience it.”
—Yeshe Gyamtso
BE A WARRIOR INSTEAD OF A WORRIER!
Some wise advice from Chamtrul Rinpoche
Worrying is a complete waste of
Your precious time, energy and attention….
Worrying only makes whatever you are worrying about
Worse because whatever we focus on and give our energy and
Attention to always grows stronger and bigger.
Therefore, the wise do not worry.
Tibetans have a saying—
that if a problem can be fixed,
worrying is pointless,
because something can be done.
And if a problem can not be fixed,
worrying is still pointless,
because nothing can be done.
Whatever your situation,
no matter how serious,
worrying will only make it worse.
It also consumes so much
of your time and energy,
that you could have used to
cultivate inner peace
and happiness instead.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
