“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear.
If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”

Today’s Quote
Around us, life bursts with miracles –
a glass of water, a ray of sunshine,
a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower,
laughter, raindrops.
If you live in awareness,
it is easy to see miracles everywhere.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~

Today’s Quote
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.

Today’s Quote
A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion
within himself or herself
and who is able to make another person smile
or help someone suffer less.
Every one of us is capable of this.

Today’s Quote
Waking up this morning, I smile.
24 brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment
and to look at all beings
with the eyes of compassion.

“Around us, life bursts with miracles–
a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf,
a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.
If you live in awareness,
it is easy to see miracles everywhere.
Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles.
Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms;
ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap;
a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos;
a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings.
When we are tired and feel discouraged by life’s daily struggles,
we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”
~ Thích Nhất Hạnh ~

“Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering.
Do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the world.
Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means,
including personal contact and visits, images, sounds.
By such means, …awaken yourself and others
to the reality of suffering in the world.
If we get in touch with the suffering of the world,
and are moved by that suffering,
we may come forward to help the people who are suffering.”
