Live in joy,
In love,
Even among those who hate.

Live in joy,
In health,
Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy,
In peace,
Even among the troubled.

Look within.
Be still.

Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of the way.

-from the Dhammapada

such simple words, yet how difficult they are to grasp.

and so difficult yes - but more and more people are begining to understand !

A very beautiful first entry Leonardo - I know that this is your wish for all.
Bless you my friend and keep on dancing !

"A nice definition of an awakened person: a person who no longer marches to the drums of society, a person who dances to the tune of the music that springs up from within."

I think of looking within, being still, and I reconsider the first verses.

I often conceive of myself as not just an individual, and I consider all cells united in my entity. I consider notions that when one is divided, and when one has habits, and I wonder if our cells at some microindividual level are in disagreement and recovering from their own past habits that need resolving and integrating into our being.

Live in all those wonders, even among yourself!~

Thank you, Leonardo, for sharing this simple and beautiful Truth. It really was a joy to read!!!

I hope and pray that more and more of humanity will find the healing that comes with discovering Who They Really Are - to go within into the stillness and experience the Great Peace. I feel I have reached that place myself and I am so grateful and so joyous!!!! Thank you again, Leonardo, for these beautiful words. Blessings of love, light and peace to you xxxxxxxxx
