Diamond of Compassion

Almost all people hate the troubling enemies. Some of them even run far away from enemy because their life have been deeply wounded. On the path of compassion, the story is different.

Every soul who always run away from the harming enemy, they will not grow much. The situation is similar to rose trees which move away from the sunlight. They do not only fail to bloom, they can even die.

In line with the story of rose trees, all the luminous souls in our age grow deep in the midst of troubling enemies. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by his enemies for 27 years. Mahatma Gandhi grow in the middle of the British colonial history. Gandhiji was even shot to death by his enemy. His holiness the Dalai Lama lost his country many years a go.

The message is simple, as long as one is smart and intelligence to grow in the midst of the troubling enemy, the presence of enemy does not destroy the growth of the soul, on the contrary they make one's soul shines even brighter.

One of Nelson Mandela's spiritual legacy which is often cited by many people is like this: "I was also doubtful at the beginning, but I never give up. Until one day the window of freedom was completely opened".

Nectar of Peace

Some friends whose life are very complicated asked this question: "where should I take refuge?". Similar to young generation who have problems with their computer, whenever they are no longer able to fix it, then they stand up from the chair, and let the older brother fix the computer.

In the same way, whenever life appear to be very complicated, all the way out seem like hitting the wall, learn to step aside from the chair of mind, then let the Buddha (by which read: clarity) within who take over the issue.

Quoting research in neuroscience which deeply study the human brain. The weigh of brain only two percent of the entire weight of the body, but the brain consumes about twenty percent of all energy that is needed by the body. This happens under the normal circumstances. When life is very complicated, people tend to think too much, then the brain consumes the body's energy even more.
