Purpose of Life

I believe the big mistake we generally make by thinking the life purpose in Job Title. Infect it is much more complex then that. We all born with purpose, our life purpose can partially be detected by the ideas or things which are connected to us or things which we give high value.

As we start focusing consciously on our interest, we start activating the Law of Attraction, this universal law states clearly, whatsoever we give more focus or think more would reflect back to us as reality.

To increase the positive flow, start looking the positive things for which you are grateful and which you want to attract. Let the daily irritation drop away from focus on positive things. Criticism or chewing the past or retelling old problems actually dilutes the positive intentions of success that actually we want in our life.

Famous Buddhism Quotes

I have taken some good quotes from http://www.buddhist-temples.com/buddhism-facts/buddhist-quote.html site . Here are these:

* Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
* You only lose what you cling to.
* Fill your mind with compassion.
* We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.
* The Four Reliances
First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words;
Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher;
Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.
* We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.
* To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
* Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
* Pay no attention to the faults of others,
things done or left undone by others.
Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.
* What we think, we become.
* Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
* Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others.
* He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
* An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind
* Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
* Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
* Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
* Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
* On life's journey Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.
* One of his students asked Buddha, "Are you the messiah?"
"No", answered Buddha.
"Then are you a healer?"
"No", Buddha replied.
"Then are you a teacher?" the student persisted.
"No, I am not a teacher."
"Then what are you?" asked the student, exasperated.
"I am awake", Buddha replied.

Nice Thought to Share

Recently I went through some good stuff that were discussing about the essence of self realization.

Buddha enlighten after self realization or attainment of emptiness. He could imagine how it might be difficult to preach or convey the right message to people who didn’t have that potential to grasp it, people who were in the tight grip of Greed, Sex, delusion, hatred. I do think, Buddha could image, even after he came out beyond self and others and out of compassion fortunately he taught.

It all emerged from his realization of 'Emptiness'.
