Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet they are fed…So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.

峰迴路轉 卻不忘記剎那 (Explored) (by 風景獵人)
This is a large extract from a film “Amongst White Clouds”, which is a unique glimpse into a life of buddhist hermit monks, who live in Chinese mountains. Poor quality here, but it is definitely worth of watching.
It tells a story of a western man, who on his path decided to go to China in a search of a spiritual guidance. Calm and quiet lesson of a simple life.
Tenga Rinpoche passed away
Today in Benchen Monastery (Kathmandu, Napal) Tenga Rinpoche passed away. Until today he was belived to be one of the greatest living lamas in Tibetan buddhism tradition. He was also belived to be enlighted person.
I think we do not have to greet Him anything in His journey. He already knows where to go and what to do. We can only wish, that He will still help others in other way.
More about this event You will find here (from where the photo is).
Beautiful pictures and music.
Zen: Fluidity of Mind and Movement
Mind creates the world;
what you see arises with your thoughts.
If you speak and act with a confused mind,
trouble will follow you as certainly
as a cart follows the ox that pulls it.Mind creates the world;
what you see arises with your thoughts.
If you speak and act with a clear mind,
happiness will follow you as certainly
as your own shadow in sunlight.
“It’s his fault.” “She shouldn’t have done that.”
Believe such thoughts, and you live in resentment.
“It’s his fault.” “She shouldn’t have done that.” Question such thoughts,
and you live in freedom.
Anger teaches anger.
Fear results in more fear.
Only understanding can lead to peace.
This is the ancient law.
~ Buddha
