..thinking back..

Much things have happened for the past one year.
One can really see impermanence taking place at all these times.
If I'm to reflect back, it can get quite brain-draining to a certain extent.
Often, I wonder how I've manage to go through this rough year.

By taking refuge and having more faith in the Triple Gems helps.
One conclusion which I could deduce is:
It's really very important to train and strengthen our Mind and to take gd care of our Heart!
Thus, I've make an aspiration this year to go for at least 1 complete meditation course no matter what to further train my weak mind.

Rinpoche said, just chant MANI, just Do it...
"I will, Rinpoche."
After spending some time in the Om Retreat and met the Rinpoche himself, I realized that actually everything is very simple. What's not simple, is our mind. Our mind is always playing tricks on us, leading us towards the wrong directions much too often...

Recently, I realized too that it's very important to practice the 'Middle Path'.
I think i'm more of a dualistic person, who can only see the "right" and "wrong".
In my world, it's hard for me to say that "there's no right or wrong".
But now, I came to realise that there's actually no definite right and wrong and there's always this grey area somewhere in between.

One more thing is that, don't harbour expectations so as to reduce getting disappointment and hurt in the end. Don't think that things are absolute. There's nothing fix and concrete, everything is subject to change.
But sometimes, it's just too hard not to thou. Most important thing is that, to always take care of your mind in every moment!

Patience.
This is another virtue that one should try to cultivate I would think.
Be patient when you can't help a person.
Be patient when you can't improve a situation.
Be patient when you can't talk things out with a person for now.
Be patient when times are bad.
Be patient when you're feeling helpless.
Be patient when you're practising.
....

just be patient....
slowly....



..slowly...

..all things will change for the better...
....continue to practice...


May all mother sentient beings and I be well and happy.
May all mother sentient beings and I be free from sufferings.
May all mother sentient beings and I purify our minds.
May all our actions, thoughts and speech come from a true and pure mind.
May all mother sentient beings and I never be separated from the Triple Gems.
