Inner Peace

The point is that really this mind of ours is naturally peaceful. It's still and calm like a leaf that is not being blown about by the wind. But if the wind blows then it flutters. It does that because of the wind. And so with the mind it's because of these moods - getting caught up with thoughts. If the mind didn't get lost in these moods it wouldn't flutter about. If it understood the nature of thoughts it would just stay still. This is called the natural state of the mind. And why we have come to practice now is to see the mind in this original state. We think that the mind itself is actually pleasurable or peaceful. But really the mind has not created any real pleasure or pain. These thoughts have come and tricked it and it has got caught up in them. So we really have to come and train our minds in order to grow in wisdom. So that we understand the true nature of thoughts rather than just following them blindly.
The mind is naturally peaceful. It's in order to understand just this much that we have come together to do this difficult practice of meditation.

-Amaravati Buddhist Monastery

"A woman wanted to know how to deal with anger. I asked when anger arose whose anger it was. She said it was hers. Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldnt she? But it really isn't hers to command. Holding on to anger as a personal possession will cause suffering. If anger really belonged to us, it would have to obey us. If it doesn't obey us, that means it's only a deception. Don't fall for it. Whenever the mind is happy or sad, don't fall for it. Its all a deception."

""A good practice is to ask yourself very sincerely, "Why was I born?" Ask yourself this question in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night…every day. ""

""Anyone can build a house of wood and bricks, but the Buddha taught us that sort of home is not our real home. It’s a home in the world and it follows the ways of the world. Our real home is inner peace. ""

- Ajan Chah ( Buddhist Monk)

New Year New Hope 2009

Who doesn't like to replace the old with the new? Who doesn't like a new pair of shoes, a new car, or a new book? Who can hold a new baby without smiling? Even though you know that the new will eventually become old, that newness is fleeting, you can enjoy it, knowing it won't be the last time. Life's cycles repeatedly include newness.
There's always hope of something new. After each night there's a new day. The end of each story offers the beginning of a new one.

2009 is giving us new hopes, new dreams, new planning’s, let us accept this new gift and plan for a better society.

Are you a great director?

As a trainer I always tell this below example to motivate the team.

Be like a great director to release your “LIFE DREAMS”

Let me explain something about dreaming and success.

Behind all successful films initially there was only a “dream” in film director’s “mind”. They even did not know whether their film would be a hit or fail. However they imagine it, they see it as real and start making it with lots of confidence. They do know investing huge money and time on unknown result is a big risk but still they run the risk with confidence.

The above case is very similar to the way “we dream” to achieve something great in our life.

“We all dream” but only some people get success in achieving it, just like only some successful directors make extraordinary films which were initially a very ordinary “dreams” in their minds. But it becomes extraordinary when they start trying to make their dreams come true with lots of ""Confidence"".

“Every dream and goal” in our life should be like “making a film”. It may hit or fail. If a film fails then director never stops making new film. Their desire to make new films never ends. They come with a new story and they make it a big hit.

“”That means they never stop dreaming.””

Every dream initially is “an ordinary dream” but after consistently working on it gives lots money, prestige and satisfaction”.

Unfortunately many of us lack patience, we loose positive energy and finally we “leave the making our dream film in between” with negative attitude.

All successful persons in this world till now “never stopped in making their dream film”.

If “Bill gates underestimated his dream” then there wouldn’t be windows operating system.

If “Narayan murthy and Azim Premji underestimated their dreams” and quit the idea of Infosys and Wipro then there wouldn’t be any growth to Indian I.T market.

If “Larry Page and Sergey Brin underestimated their dreams” then there wouldn’t be any Google.com


“”So, Never never never underestimate your dreams””. Give them a chance.

Be a great director to release your “LIFE DREAMS”

Thanks,

Order your mind to act like a “Watch dog”

Order your mind to act like a “watch dog”

In this below description I tried to explain the purpose of meditation in a very simple way.

Meditation is not a spiritual process. It did not come from any religion. It is totally a scientific process. Any human being from any religion can follow it.

As we know for every home we have an owner. The owner of the house receives guests. Owner also takes care of each and every corner of the home. If the owner neglects weaken windows or doors then thief may enter in to home and rob. If owner allows every one into home and entertain everyone then people will damage the house. If the owner does not know how to control the people inside the house then the house value will go down. And society will blame the owner first.

In the similar way our mind is the owner of this human body. It sits in its chair and receives the ideas/thoughts/values that we get in our brain. Like an irresponsible owner if mind allows everything inside the mind then it will damage the entire body and soul and hence we will loose our value in society.

So as a responsible owner of the body mind should observe our thoughts/our life style/ideas/planes that are trying to enter in to our body. Our mind has to reject if any harmful thing is coming inside as a guest to live in our body.

If the owner of the house wander here and there instead of concentrating on who is coming inside or what is going on inside then damage will take place slowly. In the same way our mind which is an owner has to sit in silence every day and keep watching at least an hour or 2 hours on what is going on inside and who is trying to come from outside.

Discuss with thoughts and ask them why they want to enter and stay in your body and soul. If you feel any thought is destructive and harmful to your body, soul as well as for society then reject it. And if you decide that any thought is useful to your body, soul and as well as for society then kindly accept it and let it stay in your body.

In this way we can cleanse our body and mind. If we keep doing this then one day our mind will automatically rejects negative thoughts without sitting in meditation.

In simple words meditation is nothing but using your mind like a watch Dog to secure your body and soul from outside negative energies.

A story on Foolish Limitations

A tourist walked down a pier and watched a fisherman pull in a large fish, measure it, and throw it back. He caught a second fish, smaller this time, measured it, and put it in his bucket. Oddly, all the large fish that he caught that measured ten inches or more he discarded. All fish smaller than ten inches he kept. Puzzled, the curious onlooker questioned, "Pardon me, but why do you keep the little ones and throw the big ones away?" The old fellow looked up and without blinking an eye said, "Why, because my frying pan measures only ten inches across!"
Foolish? Of course. But no more so than when you throw away the biggest ideas and the most beautiful dreams that come into your mind simply because your experience is too limited, your self-confidence too undeveloped to enable you to grab hold of the big opportunities God sends your way!
Start growing now. Think big. Big things happen to big-thinking people. Nothing big happens to little-thinking people.

Spiritual wars are spreading terrorism on this earth

Every country has been attacked by terrorists these days. Why is it happening? What is the root cause of this problem?

Is this because different religions or is this for power? Is this just to spread terror?

In spiritual point of view I want to give this below explanation on this issue.


It is a spiritual war. It is a fight between bad energies and good energies formed by humans. In a country or place where women not respected ,women does not respect women and where people live for money and disrespect God is much then in that particular place or country bad energies will keep forming. Once we forget our culture and attracted to bad things then it is very difficult to come out from that unreal world. And now many of the human minds polluted and keep on releasing bad energies into universe. When these bad energies accumulate in larger amount then this negative force will try to dominate positive or good energy. It always tries to prove that it can rule the world by fighting with good energies. And these bad energies will use human mind and body as carriers to spread.

It is unseen to a normal person but this what happening in this world now. If we start respecting woman, God and live for humanity then again good energies will accumulate much, and this will be able to fight with bad energies. We have to repair our minds to produce good vibrations from mind. We are polluted by excess desires, greed for money and sex, revenge and possessiveness. A very cultural country like in India females are smoking, drinking and dancing in night clubs. How far is this right? Is this a right culture?

We have to teach our future generations how to live and keep a right culture for better society. Beautiful minds can create beautiful world. Let’s make our mind beautiful by helping others who are in need, by respecting our woman as a divine creature, live for others and little live for money and power. Pray to God everyday to get positive energy.
