From the standpoint of human’s senses, the person who passed by here a few hours ago left nothing behind except his or her footprints. But to dog’s sense of smell, a scent is detected. Only humans don’t know that. In terms of ordinary people’s senses, the things done a few days ago, be they good or bad, left no mark on them except the memory. But in the eyes of the wise, virtuous or evil karma has made its mark. It’s just that ordinary people are not aware of it.

Om Mani Padme Hum!

Blood and tears, may these never happen again!

Peace to all!

We wish to extend our gratitude to all mothers and always keep in mind their great kindness.

Whether or not we are happy is not based on our standard of living but our attitude toward life.

Not every kind of pressure can turn into a driving force. An appropriate amount of pressure can be motivating, but pressure that is too intense has the power to hurt, not to motivate. For the sake of one’s own health, one needs to learn how to release pressure, and the best way to do that is through meditation practice.

As natural disasters, like earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as mental illness, related with suicide and madness, have both been unceasingly on the rise in recent years, people increasingly sense how fragile life is and more people are beginning to focus on the issues of life and death, something we all must face sooner or later. To most people, death is a very heavy subject as it brings to mind huge fear and catastrophe. There is no point in trying to escape it, either. But understanding the truth of death can help us not only eliminate the fear toward death but also possibly find the catalyst to ultimately free us from it.

Death is an important issue for everyone since it is the reality that has to face but is reluctant to do so. To ordinary people, death represents a dark unknown filled with despair, mystery, pain and sorrow.
