Relaxation
Blessed are the
Peacemakers.
These words are the teaching of the Yoga master Lord Buddha
who taught
more than two thousand years ago.
Like a light they are still here
today to guide us towards the path of love and peace.....
‘With our
thoughts we make the world.
If we speak
or act with a harmful thought, trouble follows us.
With our thoughts we make the world.
If we speak or
act with a harmonious thought,
happiness follows us like our own shadow, never leaving us.
If we regularly say to
ourselves "He /she/they hurt me, beat me, robbed me.
Look how he/she /they abused and injured me" And we live with those
thoughts,
we will never know peace and will never stop hating.
If we refuse to entertain such thoughts of how
the world/ our acquaintances/
relations/family and or friends mistreat us, if we resist the temptation
to dwell upon such thoughts and bravely abandon them,
our hatred and suffering will cease. We will live in peace.
Hatred can never overcome hatred.
Only love can bring the end of hating.
Only love
This is the eternal law.
When we do harm we suffer.
When we do good things we are happy.
Be happy, stop suffering.

Contemplate your peaceful path ahead, through your peaceful doing.
All the holy words we read and
all the holy words we speak are as nothing if we do not act upon them.
Even if we read very little
and say very little, but live in peace, forsaking hatred, we will know truth, find calmness, and
will naturally show others the way of love.

To be peaceful, content, loving, we must be mindful and watch ourselves.
Meditate in your
wisdom,..............Realise the highest happiness.
Stay awake, watch and
reflect.
Watch yourself with
careful attention.
In this way you will find the
light within yourself.
With
that light, you can brighten the world.
Who will transcend the sorrow
of the world?
Who will find the path of
peace and love? ........................You will.

Even as with these flowers you
have discovered some of the finest and most beautiful of this world, so you will gather the
teachings of peace, of beauty, compassion and joy transcending the world of
suffering.
Just as seeing the beauty in
these flowers, see the beauty in others
Do not remark on the faults of
others.
Knowing that each of us has
done wrong things. Then overlook the faults of others, see their beauty, and live in peace and
love.

How brightly the lotus
flower, symbolising our love grows in the wayside of our minds besides the rubbish of our
fears. Its sweet scent, lightens the heart.
With our love, we can shine in
the darkness of our sorrow, spreading the sweet scent of our love our wisdom.
The wisdom of knowing hatred
can never overcome hatred. Only love can bring the end of hating. This is the
truth.
The eternal
law.

Still and calm
is the one who lives in love.
His/ her mind is
peaceful and his/her words and deeds reflect this.
Whenever we live in love , life is delightful and joyful.
To live in love we must conquer hatred within us.
Through looking at ourselves, through honest self-awareness, through meditation we find
love.
He/she who conquers him/herself is the
greatest warrior.
The conquest of one’s own
negativity and hatred is the path to peace.
Better than a hundred years of uncontrolled
existence is one day of thoughtful and meditative life,
such as today.
Better to begin the next hundred
years in peace, to live on in love.
Better to
do good than harm, and better to do it at once.
Through and by ourselves we do harm and suffer.
Through and by ourselves we do good and live in peace.
Suffering and peace belong to oneself. No other can do it for
us.
Only we can love and bring
peace.
Our work is to discover ourselves to
attend to living in love with all our heart.
The teaching of Universal peace is simple.
"Cease to do/ speak harm
Learn to speak/ do love.
Hurt
none by word or deed and
Live in inner
peace.
Live happily in healthy thoughts, free
from greed, feeding instead on love.
Give up
winning. Who can win or lose when we are all going to die?
Find strength in meditation.
Love cannot embrace without meditation.
Look inward, do your work of peacefulness attentively and live in quietness"
The light of love within you will light the
world with peace.
Only love can bring the end
of fear and suffering.....................Only love.
This is the eternal
law’.
May we all find our strength to love and be guided by this
wisdom to peace
Om Shanti
Ann
