As Easter approaches, I pray that those who profess devotion to Jesus Christ will remember his message of love and stop the current trend of doing hateful and mean-spirited things to vulnerable populations. I pray that they and we as a nation find our way back to sanity, mutual care, and common decency. 🙏💕 #easter

When the troubles of the world overwhelm you, it can help to take these steps:
1. Turn your awareness inward to see the troubled thoughts for what they are: thoughts.
2. Focus on the clarity of awareness itself.
3. Let the thoughts dissolve like clouds into the sky.
4. Rest for awhile in the clarity of your awareness. www.compassmethods.com, https://youtube.com/@compassionscompass-sb7jo?si=lya3bjrtt6L2CXA3 #mentalhealth #peace #awareness #compassion #wisdom

According to Narada Thera (1993), the Buddha uttered this verse after the merchant Anathapindika came under criticism for spending most of his fortune in almsgiving to the Buddha and his entourage. The Buddha added a second verse, “Even a good person sees evil so long as good ripens not; but when it bears fruit then the good one sees the good results.” #good #evil #buddha #Karma #actions
