Portable Heaven

In our modern life, there are a lot of people who keeps offering heaven. The material world complete with their advertising and promotion keep showing smiles everyday. Some of them smiles while offering cars and some others smiles while offering insurance services and savings for the future of children.

The characteristic of material world is simple, they keep offering sedative from outside. A Car salesman will always promise that you can be happy with the new car. If the purchased car can not make you happy, they will offer another new car with a more expensive price. And the end result can be easily predicted, happiness inquirers like this are not only endless, but also make many souls get exhausted. In the west where the material life is praised, the statistic of social diseases keep increasing from year to year.

Having realized the dry characteristic of material life, a lot of seekers begin to stop searching heaven outside, then learn to find paradise that is available abundantly within. Meditation is one of the way to find the abundant paradise inside.

Religion of Love

Following the death of hundreds of people in Paris due to the terrorist attack on Friday November 13, 2015, mother Earth was surrounded by the aura of deep sadness. Many people said that tears suddenly drop after  the event. Countless peace lovers expressed their deep condolences. Some of spiritual seekers deeply pray for the happiness of suffering souls in Paris.

And in the midst of this deep sorrow, there is a spiritual friend from London who sent a beautiful e-mail which delivering this message: "religion never kill, ignorance that kill". No religion which was born to kill. The true spirit that often kill is ignorance.

Ignorance keeps believing that material wealth can make them happy forever. Ignorance often assume that political power can provide everything. Ignorance mistakenly conclude that violence can be destroyed by violence.

Healing Yourself

"In the end, you are your own greatest healer", that is the message which is often repeated in the meditation classes. And this is probabily happen when someone keep connecting the small-self with the larger-self.

Any spiritual friend who have spent much time meditating in the forest, they will understand that whenever animals are injured in the forest, they will find a safe and comfortable place to rest. Once they rest sufficiently, naturally they will be cured.

The problem that happen with many people who are sick in particular, they never take a rest. Even when their physical body is being treated at the hospital, they keep thinking, judging, blaming. As a result, they can not heal themselves.

River of Peace

One day there was a wise old man who lived at the edge of the forest. He was so calm and peaceful, that's why almost all the villagers deeply respected him. Some villagers even thought that he was a living God on earth.

But bad luck can not be avoided, good luck can not be pursued, one time there was a young girl in the village who became pregnant without having any husband. Being embarrassed because of her pregnant daughter, the father of this girl asked rudely: "where is the man who make you pregnant?". With the feeling of deeply nervous and afraid this girl pointed out to the the old wise man in the edge of the forest.

Suddenly all the villagers who had been full of praise to the old man in the past, change their mind into the people who were full of judgement. Some of younger generation even thrown dirt to him. The father of the pregnant girl handed over her daughter rudely and shouting: "Now take your responsibility hypocrite old man!".
