"Just as a firm post, sunk in the earth,
Cannot be shaken by the four winds;
Even so do I declare him to be a Righteous person
Who thoroughly perceives the Noble Truths."
- The Buddha, Ratana Sutta
In my search for Truth, Happiness and Freedom, I shall be Brave, Strong,
When I'm tired, I shall rest,
So as to emerge Great, Proud (ie. Confident, Courageous, Bold and Fearless)
And Victorious I shall stand as The Exalted One.
This, I wish the same for All sentient beings of All the different realms,
Whether terrestial or celestial, without any exception,
including all the Brahmas, the Devas and the Nagas.

"Just as the lotus arise from the dirt and mud
.
Untainted;
.
So shall I, so shall I." .

Be kind to others, and be good to yourselves.
Have a Love-ly and Happy New Year, everyone!
With all my love,
Maitre-light 
* In honour of 2 of the greatest masters of our time, the late Venerable Ajahn Mun and Ajahn Chah, I'm leaving you with excerpts from their teachings ;
For they are truly the Real Warriors.
I hope it'll inspire you just as much as how they have inspired me.
Happy reading and Enjoy!
With love,

"In my own search, I tried nearly every possible means of contemplation.
.
I sacrificed my life for The Dhamma, because I had faith in the reality of Enlightenment and the Path to get there .........
These things actually do exist, just like The Buddha said they did.
But to realise them takes practice,
Right Practice.
It takes pushing yourself to the limit.
It takes the courage to train, to reflect, and to fundamentally change.
It takes the courage to actually do what it takes.
You've got to discover it in The Depths of Your Own Heart."
- Venerable Ajahn Chah
(taken from the book 'Unshakeable Peace' by Ajahn Chah.)
"Fear, I have been afraid;
.
Boldness, I have been bold;
Love, I have loved;
Hate, I have hated;
Detestation, I have detested;
Anger, I have been angry -
All this because I have a heart -
.
I am not a dead man,
.
Or monk.
But I have tried with my utmost ability to train myself without ever slipping back or giving way.
Those things which used to be in charge and overpowering crumbled away under the power of the work and diligence of
.
The one who is NOT afraid to die."
- Venerable Ajahn Mun
(taken from the book 'Patipada' or 'The mode of practice of Venerable Acharn Mun' by Venerable Acharn Maha Boowa Nanasampanno)
For Love For Freedom and For Peace
