La inercia
No puedes cambiar el mundo, pero eso no significa que te quedes de brazos cruzados.

Mantener
La felicidad es un estado mental que se cultiva y se mantiene.

Martirio
Los mártires no se sacrificaron
por las cosas superficiales y banales del mundo.
Los mártires tomaron esa decisión con júbilo
para defender los ideales a los cuales veneraban,
por entender que tales ideales poseían el potencial bendito
de ofrecer bien, sabiduría y liberación a otros seres.
Los mártires no se sacrificaron
por las cosas superficiales y banales del mundo.
Los mártires no son las mujeres u hombres que sacrifican su vida
por mantener una relación que está siendo destructora
para una o ambas partes.
Tales "mártires" realizan sus acciones desde la confusión e ignorancia.
Tal "sacrificio" no es realmente un sacrificio.
Qué hoy puedas reflexionar sobre el verdadero significado del sacrificio
y que tu vida se transforme en un contínuo ciclo de bendición y liberación
en vez de destrucción.

La ciencia es poder
La ciencia y la información es poder.
De tí depende utilizar el poder
para construir o destruir.
El tipo de intención que abrigues,
el tipo de resultado que tendrás.
Debido a la interrelación que todo tiene entre sí,
la intención constructiva que abrigues
brindará liberación a otros seres y a ti mismo.
Tú que decidistes escoger el poder como tu camino,
¿Qué estás haciendo hoy para que ese poder se transforme en liberación?

The Sermon on Abuse
The Sermon on Abuse
And the Blessed One observed the ways of society
and noticed how much misery came from malignity and foolish offences
done only to gratify vanity and self-seeking pride.
And the Buddha said:
"If a man foolishly does me wrong,
I will return to him the protection of my ungrudging love;
the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me;
the fragrance of goodness always comes to me,
and the harmful air of evil goes to him."
A foolish man learning that the Buddha observed the principle of great love
which commends the return of good for evil, came and abused him.
The Buddha was silent, pitying his folly.
When the man had finished his abuse,
the Buddha asked him, saying:
"Son, if a man declined to accept a present made to him,
to whom would it belong?"
And he answered:
"In that case it would belong
to the man who offered it."
"My son," said the Buddha,
"thou hast railed at me,
but I decline to accept thy abuse,
and request thee to keep it thyself.
Will it not be a source of misery to thee?
As the echo belongs to the sound,
and the shadow to the substance,
so misery will overtake the evil-doer without fail."
The abuser made no reply, and Buddha continued:
"A wicked man who reproaches a virtuous one
is like one who loods up and spits at heaven;
the spittle soils not the heaven,
but comes back and defiles his own person.
"The slanderer is like one
who flings dust at another when the wind is contrary;
the dust does not but return on him who threw it.
The virtuous man cannot be hurt
and the misery that the other would inflict
comes back on himself."
The abuser went away ashamed, but he came again
and took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

Fiel a los valores
A tus valores mantente fiel,
aún cuando en tu camino
sientas la soledad.
Más adelante encontrarás una mano amiga.
