Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.<BR/><BR/>mrkiasu : japan is indeed a beautiful country. pictures fake..why ? i dont understand....<BR/><BR/>arglene : it is not wrong to have a dream. We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn lessons from the past. In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. you can do it !<BR/><BR/>lrong : yes. it is good before sleeptime if one does a 5 - 10 minute lying down (on the bed) sort of meditation, observing the breathing-in and breathing-out. good sleep i am sure.<BR/><BR/>eaow : i hope you will become better. you dont look fine the past few days - a little gloomy. anything just knock at my door.Patrick Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568979339739419708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9916449.post-1116839279973899552005-05-23T17:07:00.000+08:002005-05-23T17:07:00.000+08:00Thanks for your concern.Thanks for your concern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9916449.post-1116833832570984342005-05-23T15:37:00.000+08:002005-05-23T15:37:00.000+08:00Don't know much about Vesak or Buddhism, but medit...Don't know much about Vesak or Buddhism, but meditation is very good before you hit the sack... can snore straight until morning...Lrong Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071380270069499888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9916449.post-1116818565915441702005-05-23T11:22:00.000+08:002005-05-23T11:22:00.000+08:00What a good post for wesak day.
