As we draw towards the end of 2015, we are slowly getting closer to our goal of 100 million each of four mantras:
As you can see we are very close to the final number of Chenrezig mantras but still have a long way to go with the others.
All these mantras are dedicated to the swift return of Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche so wherever you are, whatever you're doing, please do your best to help - send your mantra totals to paldron@samyelingshop.com.
The Buddhist principle is to be everybody's friend, not to have any enemy.
Meditation means simple acceptance.
Only the impossible is worth doing.
Whenever we see something which could be done to bring benefit to others, no matter how small, we should do it.
Freedom is not something you look for outside of yourself. Freedom is within you.
Hasten slowly, you will soon arrive.
It doesn’t matter whatever comes, stop judging and it won’t bother you.
Whatever obstacles arise, if you deal with them through kindness without trying to escape then you have real freedom.
To tame ourselves is the only way we can change and improve the world.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Strive always to be as kind, gentle and caring as possible towards all forms of sentient life.
Every sentient being is equal to the Buddha.
Wherever and whenever we can, we should develop compassion at once.
Reminding ourselves of how others suffer and mentally putting ourselves in their place, will help awaken our compassion.
