„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

Look at the real nature of the harm that is done to you. It is as elusive as a drawing on water. Let your resentment subside by itself. When the stormy waves of thoughts have vanished, the mind becomes like the cloudless sky that has nothing to win or lose.

We have a tendency to think in
terms of doing and not in terms
of being. We think that when
we are not doing anything,
we wasting our time.

But that ist not true
Our time is first of all
for us to be.

To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful,
to be joyful, to be loving. And that is
what the world needs most.

The bravest thing you can ever do, is to stay kind and soft even when the world has been cruel to you.

„Gott hilft, indem er den Menschen mit den Konsequenzen seiner Taten konfrontiert, und verlangt, daß das Gleichgewicht wieder hergestellt werde. Karma ist das Gesetz, das für die Rechtschaffenheit arbeitet; es ist die heilende Hand Gottes.“
