My dear
They keep sending me forwards of the wise sayings of the Dalai Lama.
Thought I would add in some of my own and send them around for good measure….
photo: terryq
This is not a forward.
These are Terry-Lama sayings ….quite original.
It is not necessary to get excited about them or pass them on.
Nothing will happen to you one way or the other if you do not.
What you do about them or get out of them depends on you, of course!
1. Nrs bnkl atrdu brzal wqudmg
lohytdr zpmluj kgndr.
2. Not everything in the world
is meant to be understood .
3 Just because
you understand something
it does not mean
that you have to accept it.
3a. Just because
you accept something
it does not mean
that you have to approve of it.
4. Do not waste your energies
in trying to give up bad habits.
Instead, build up so many good habits
that you do not have time for the bad ones.
5. Do not ever control your temper.
Lose it at an early stage
when it is just a mild irritation.
6. Do not be tolerant of others.
Do not be patient with others.
Patience and tolerance are threats.
Accept others. Appreciate others.
These are the real virtues.
7 .
8. If you do not have
anything to say,
do not say it.
9. You cannot
wander away
from a trail
that you yourself
are blazing….
10. Just because a mountain is there,
it doesn’t mean you have to climb it.
11. In your battles with God
when you lose, you win..
12. Virtue is measured more
by what you keep
than by what you give up
or sacrifice.
13. If you have a bad teacher,
thank God.
Now work twice as hard
and the knowledge you gain
will be because of your own efforts.
14. Succeeding in life
is the best revenge you can take
on people who speak badly about you.
15. If you can do something,
do not try to do it.
Just do it.
16. Maturity
is not a birthday present.
17. Love is a gift.
Respect has to be merited.
18.Old age is not a sickness.
It is a blessing.
19. Unless we wake up,
we cannot make our dreams come true.
20. The best gifts in the world
are the ones others accept from us.
Quite possibly you yourself will have made your own collection of sayings over the years…verbally expressed or effectively lived.
All the best for your own Lama-spirited living!
Love, Terry!
