"As a Buddhist monk my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction."

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, Oslo, December 1989

Umm so what if people inflict pain on themselves?will that be the ignorance of the value of their own existence ? What do they pursue? and why..

How much water have you taken from Mother Earth who loves you so? Everytime she cracks her skin into a deep trench to give you small stream of water,water that runs through your lung to carry away your thirst, water that ease your pain at the cost of her pain, she gives away her precious thing.As your pain drying out, you see a smile on her face.As her pain drying out,she see a smile on your face. A long sigh...a deep breath...a fulfilling smile...an ouch.. an ahhh... a wow. You and she smile at the mistery and beauty of the circle.

How much water have you taken from Mother Earth who loves you so? How much water have you given away to those you love? Water is precious.And so are you. Hence only to you - my precious mate,i give away water my precious thing.You give away yours.That is not and never all that i can give you nor you can give me. Yet, just water itself is enough to praise how rich we are in this life having the courage to give and be given.

No he escrito para un time.But largo los pensamientos y las emociones me están impulsando escribir una update.This se dedican a mi amante encantador, el aventurero valiente y cariñoso, el estudiante incansable y el profesor que estén viajando sobre los océanos y el cielo. Deje el viento enviarle mi beso a mi amante, para decir a él cuánto soy orgulloso de él.Paz con usted.

Tristeza de distance.Happiness de la soledad.Mi amante y mi compañero,La paz esté con mí.

May La paz, el amor, la compasión y la soledad estén con nosotros.
