Precepts

By ME and the Boss

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.

“He who knows

the precepts by heart,

but fails to practice them,

Is like unto one

who lights a lamp

and then shuts his eyes.”

.

~ Nagarjuna

.

1. Do not kill
2. Do not steal
3. Do not indulge in sexual misconduct
4. Do not make false speech
5. Do not take intoxicants

I know, I know, I know,

but, I just forgot to do it.

Forgetting is not an excuse.

Today, no excuses necessary,

just practice what you know

and seek to do the will of your loving Higher Power.

Life is to practice doing the next right thing.

Life is to live and love in the here and now.

Renew Humanity

By ME and the Boss

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

“Teach this

triple truth to all:

A generous heart,

kind speech, and

a life of service

and compassion

are the things

which renew humanity.”

.

~ Buddha

.

Life does and will go on, in spite of us,

so why not make the ride enjoyable.

The world of the Great Creator goes in cycles

and in spite of us the seasons will follow each other,

the tides will rise and fall, life will be born and die

and the strongest will survive.

Today, be kind, make sure humanity survives.

Kindness is the thing which renews humanity.

Kindness is the beginning of a life filled with love.
