NOV 18

1

The man of high integrity
Redeems himself with a sense of harmony,
And only then keeps the road to quarrel unopened.

2

The man whose mind is quick-tempered and rude
Accomplishes not one thing.
For the man whose mind is harmonious and calm,
One hundred blessings gather of themselves.
Tao

3

Slanderers and gossips
Are like thin clouds covering the sun: 
It will not be long before they clear up of themsleves.
Tao

4

Tolerate the mistakes and faults of others,
But not your own.
Endure your own difficulties and disgrace,
But not those of others.
Tao

If you that some unseen forces are haunting, please the below method for yourself. You can either use the name of God or Kwan Yin for the buddhist.
Get nine coloured flowers and tear them to pieces and soak them in the water for at least half an hour and have a shower with the flowers. The pieces of flower will transmit the solar energy into the water and this water helps to clean away any form of
 unseen negative energy attached to your body. Continuously do it for three days. As you shower yourself , think of Kwan Yin is also pouring down her holy water onto you. After the shower sit there quietly and chant the name of Kwan Yin for about twenty minutes. After that dedicate your merits to all sentient beings and thank Kwan Yin for helping you. ( 2 cents opinion )

If someone hurt, slander, abuse or belittle me, don't take it at heart, no anger would arrive in me. The outer and inner turbulent, adverse occurances do not move my heart an inch at all and this is the correct practice of Dharma.

The joy is simple in the Being,
Not being this or that.
I like to watch the sun in the morning,
And the moon watches over me at night.
Tao

I sometimes wonder,
When will I wake up?
Wake up to see that
there is truly nothing to fear.
I sometimes wonder if 
I am the man dreaming
that I am a butterfly, or
am I a butterfly dreaming
that I am a man?

The sage becomes nothing and gain everything.
Not displaying himself, he shines forth.
Not promoting himself, he is distinguished.
Not claiming reward, he gains endless merit.
Not seeking glory, his glory endures.

My master used to say," Pluck only the ripen mangoes from the tree and leave the green ones only."
My Tai chi grand master used to say," Let the blind ones walk past you, and only teach those who can see you and come into your door."
Lord Buddha also says, " Teach those who have the karmic affinity with you and leave who are not ready to learn the Dharma alone."
Now I begin to follow their foot-steps and teach those who have karmic affinity with me and know the value of the art of Tai chi and Dharma.

Gratitude is a pure wisdom in a person who appreciates and remembers what others have done for him in assisting him to grow and clear all the obstacles in life. And he is waiting for a chance to repay back to the others in kind or service.
