To reflect upon

In life, if you could choose to care of the very few essential things, what really does matter for you?

Buddhism.

Owh, how have I distanced from your teachings of late.

Before writing this post, I was feeling reckless of myself and my life.

I lost the 'everything's at peace' feeling, with myself, those around me and my life.
And now I seem to have found 'it' back again. :)


It was you who've taught me about loving kindness, about mindfulness, and gotten me peace and happiness.

:)

You opened up my heart and mind.
I never had to harm others in fulfilling myself again.

Your teachings stayed in my heart, because it gave a whole universe of meaningless pursuits and happenings, a meaning, so that, they made sense now.


I finally understood.
And,
I smiled.

I see a bottom so deep to your sea of wisdom.
Though there are many more that I don't know than know, but slowly, I'll learn more that I don't know of each day.

I seek to purify my actions, my speech, and my mind.

And I seek to follow the little voices in my heart.

I'll begin this journey,
albeit not a mindless, reckless or heartless journey.

In my pursuits of experience, knowledge, wisdom and liberation.
It'll be of a meaning, to me and those around me.

Thank, you.


I'll not forget my roots and what I've learned.

And so, the journey shall begin...


May us all be well and happy always.

The promise.

Sometimes it's difficult for me to explain myself to others and why I do certain things.
Most of the time I just give up explaining that moment, and promised myself that I'll express my rationale in my blog one fine day. Then, they would understand.

I do that all the time. But when things go against my way, I blame others of not knowing me. But to be fair, 'How could anyone understand you when you gave up speaking about it yourself?'. The main culprit for my problems: me.

Sometimes I felt that since it's hard understanding me because I have pretty distinctive and unaccustomed way of contemplations, thoughts, beliefs and values, I'll save the hassle.

However, I told myself, never again! This time I'll fulfill the promise I made to myself.
