Thousands of Buddhist monks chanted during a lantern lighting to celebrate Makha Bucha day, which commemorates Buddha’s first sermon on the essence of Buddhism.

A gorgeous video of Gaia, our Mother Earth. To me, She is worth dying for. She is dying because of our human race, isn’t she? Toxic chemicals. Deforestation. Melting ice caps. Mass extinction. HungerPoverty. Warfare. 

Let us all bring our awareness back to the roots, of what Mother Earth has as offerings for our race — The “I need” and “I want” mentality has taken over our planet. Material hunger. Mass-production. No satisfaction, always bigger, faster, stronger. See the natural, organic beauty in life. Notice what material cravings and financial status does to human beings. Abundance is all around. When you are ready to see that you have everything within yourSelf and you have enough to survive — there is room to flourish in other means besides financial worth.

Happiness, peace, love, wisdom, knowledge, breath — the key elements to bringing your awareness back to the present moment to notice the abundance that you’ve always had and will always have within and surrounding you every step through life.

A lovely introductory video to the path of Spiritual Awakening.

I just had to put this one up.



“What we can change is our perception, which have the effect of changing everything.”- Donna Quesada

“What we can change is our perception, which have the effect of changing everything.”
- Donna Quesada

Always remember that the Universe is sending us messages.
Mother Nature is a powerful force but even in the most catastrophic disasters, we are all still able to rebuild and see life in a different perspective. Losing attachments, living gratefully, strengthening the weak… - Transformation of the Mind.

“The sakura tree - cherry blossoms started blooming exactly a month after the disaster. 
The plants are hanging in there so humans had better do it too.”

ignite the fire**

Grounding to the Earth, you feel the dirt beneath your feet. Focusing on the breath, feeling the energy rising. Your mind soaring to a different dimension, you ignite the fire within. Dance and embrace those sensations, for you are in flight again.

The virtues of great compassion are infinite; they could be expounded upon forever without exhausting them, but it boils down to this: Whoever has great compassion can extinguish all obstructions caused by past actions and can fulfill all virtues; no principle cannot be understood, no path cannot be practiced, no knowledge not attained, no virtue not developed. Just as when you want to win people’s hearts you first love their children, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas consider all living beings their children, so if you love all living beings equally, all the Buddhas will be moved to respond.

- Zen Master Torei, “Great Compassion”

It’s amazing as to how much energy has to do with the interconnectedness of all things. Power the energy has to do with the Oneness of all things and how intention has everything to do with it. With the visions, words, and guidance of the Life Force, you really start gathering the information for the transformation to ignite.
The metamorphosis that takes place, especially when you think that everything is already as perfect as it can be… especially when you are just realizing the innate power within. For me, I felt that I had let go of everything of the past, old habits, insecurities, worries… But no, alas, there is always something, right?

And so the journey continues…”

manifest the very nature of our being lit up with peace,
loss of the inconsistencies of “i wish”, “i could have”s -
stripping ourselves from the layers of the onion.
emitting genuine intention towards peace in your life, 
shifts the energy on the entire planet. 
we radiate vibrations like the trees that surround us ♥

there is nothing in this world i wish for more than Oneness within all cultures of this Earth. om shanti~
