Behind the transient reality, there is something else. It is a deeper, more permanent and unchanging reality that we Buddhists call nirvana.

Many souls thrive on the life force of others and you are lunch!

It is always easier to capture eternity in the falling snow or along the coast where the waves crash and in solitary and lonely places. It is the quiet places where it is easiest to feel eternity.

Be concerned with the welfare of others without any sense of self-importance that one is better because one meditates or leads a certain type of life.
