Pendulum of Peace

One day a wife whose husband is suffering from a chronic heart disease was surprised because her husband won the lottery. Being afraid that something wrong could happen to her ​​husband, this nice woman ran to a Priest where they usually consult. With a gentle voice this Priest asked to the man who won the lottery: "what will you do if you win the lottery?". He firmly replied: "most of the money will go to you Priest ". Upon hearing the answer, this Priest died suddenly.

The lesson of this story is simple, life is like a pendulum. Each time the pendulum is pulled to an extreme point, it will be back to the other extreme. That's why meditation always underlines the importance of being in the middle.

One day a scientist in London will deliver an important speech. Sadly, he woke up too late. On the way to the seminar, he called a cab. As soon as he sit in the cab he immediately ordered the taxi driver: "please make it fast". After the taxi go very fast for one hour, the taxi driver asked back: "master where are you going?".

To be honest, this story is the story of modern life. Everywhere people move such quickly. And after body is sick, family is broken, children have many problems, some even being jailed, then people begin to understand that life run quickly but to the wrong direction.

Seeds of Peace

Once upon a time there was a rich person who hold their wealth on the backs keep asking from one house to another in the village. The question of this rich man is simple, anyone who could give him a moment of peace, he will give his wealth to that person. And wherever he asked, all villagers recommend the name of Nasrudin

After arriving at the edge of the village where Nasrudin lived, this rich person complained how his life became such complicated, chaotic and far from peace. Without giving any answer, Nasrudin suddenly rob the bag of this rich person which has been carried wherever he go, then Nasrudin run quickly.

Consequently, this stressful man was panicked, confused, angry and then chase Nasrudin from behind. Suddenly there was a funny scene that happen in the village. All villagers know who Nasrudin is, that's why they just get laughed. Having tired of chasing Nasrudin, this rich man then sat down and wept sadly. At the peak of his sadness, suddenly Nasrudin return his bag complete with the precious belongings within.

In the deep spirituality, people often talk about initiation. It is a transmission of energy and knowledge from teacher to student. And as other human activities, some initiations are successful some others fail.

The Valley

There are many forms of rituals are performed in initiation. With all respect to friends who strongly believe in rituals, the thing which is critical in ritual is the sacred teachings which are hidden behind. Without reading the hidden holy teachings and put the teachings into practice, all rituals will lose their charisma 

Center of Peace

 Mythologist Joseph Campbell once wrote in his book The Power of Myth: “There is center of quietness within. If you lose that center you begin to fall”. The question then, where the center is located?


Head

In our time, many people look for the light in the head in the form of intelligence. Schools and universities spend more than eighty per cent of their time to explore the head. It is not always bad, many progress happened because of it. But it’s hard to deny, many souls recently are alienated in their body. They are far from peace.

Love Beautify The Soul

When Nelson Mandela passed away few years ago, the world lost one of beautiful light. In the time when Lady Diana died years ago, billions pairs of eyes in the world cried. There is no other story behind this except the story of beautiful souls.


Any heart who bloom in beauty knows, an encounter with beautiful souls can easily make tears drop. In the language of Karen Armstrong, whenever soul feel the presence of beautiful souls, there’s a feeling of being uplifted. And one of the sign is tears drop.

The question then, what make beautiful souls such luminous? In the East people widely know the reincarnation of sacred spirits who come to earth to share the light. In Hindus they’re called Avatar who is the reincarnation of God. In Mahayana Buddhism they’re called Bodhisattva who take a vow to continuously rebirth until samsara is empty. In the West people know angels.
