“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the
candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being
shared.” WOW #2
- Ajahn Chah
Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
What you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.
If you haven't wept deeply, you haven't begun to meditate.
WOW #3
- Thich Nhat Hanh
"Aware of the suffering created by fanaticism and intolerance, we are determined not to be idolatrous about or bound to any doctrine, theory, or ideology, even Buddhist ones. Buddhist teachings are guiding means to help us learn to look deeply and to develop our understanding and compassion. They are not doctrines to fight, kill, or die for."
WOW #4
- Buddha
On life's journey
Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and
Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.
WOW #5
- Buddha
If you have no satisfactory teacher, then take this sure Dhamma and practise it. For the Dhamma is sure, and when rightly undertaken it will be to your welfare and happiness for a long time.

Buddha came and pointed to us the Dharma.
The rest is up to us.
We can
- debate about Buddha's finger,
- debate about the Buddha
- debate about why He would care to point His finger or we can
- follow the Dhamra.
the choices is ours.
Gratitude
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thanful.
- Buddha
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
