I like this :)

The dustless and stainless Eye of Truth (Dhamma-cakkhu) has arisen.
He has seen Truth, has attained Truth, has known Truth, has penetrated into Truth, has crossed over doubt, is without wavering.
Thus with right wisdom he sees it as it is (yatha bhutam) ... The Absolute Truth is Nibbana, which is Reality

Not posted anything for a while. But then one should not write just for the sake of writing. It is like taking without anything of use to speak of lol
Found this which I like :)

Wisdom of the warrior

I live by choice, not by chance.
I live to be motivated not manipulated.
I live to be useful, not used.
I live to make changes, not excuses.
I live to excel, not to compete.

I choose self esteem, not self pity.
I choose to listen to my inner voice,
Not to the random opinions of others.
I choose to do things others will not do.
I choose to live by ‘The Way’
I am everything, nothing and all that is in between,
I am, Ki

Stillness

There can be times when we are afraid to be still. We live in our heads, trying to analyize, organize, stratieize, and figure everything out. All we really want is to be happy, and somehow our attempts keep missing the mark.

Learn to refrain from moving your attention anywhere. Learn to stop creating a life through a troubled mind and instead to let things be. Be free from noise, find a silence, go from doing to being.
A quote from a favourite film of mine The Last Samurai ‘To many Minds’. Stillness is not about being still. It is having a clear mind, a constant mind. A still pond will reflect the image of the moon. Open your mind and let go. The perfection of stillness lies in the space between inhaling and exhaling. How long you spend in that space is up to you .

In the beginning 'The Way' could be likened to that of an Orange. If you just bite into the pith it is somewhat bitter to the taste. It is in some cares then cast aside. If you take your time to fully peal back the pith the rewarding soft fruit is there for the taking and be savoured. The knowledge of such things should be passed on and not kept secret :)
