In response to "Failure is the best teacher"

Nice entry and I agree. Failure is a teacher but not always, and it is not for everyone.

In response to "THE STORY OF “PIPAL TREE” ON SUKHNA LAKE"

In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.

In response to "Tramp"

Well done!

Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.

He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.

Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!

Perspective is definitely important.

In response to "My Beleif"

Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.

In response to "The Moral Compass"

So very true but unfortunately morals are not something Americans are known for. It's so disheartening!

In response to "Priceless"

Beautiful entry and so meaningful!
"No longer in competition and living life simple" and I totally agree!

In response to "Priceless"

Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.

Useless Old Stick of Wood

There is a small stick of broken, useless, dried wood. It's so worthless that a wood gatherer won't even look at it twice since it's not even good for firewood. It looks so utterly useless that there's not a single place in the heavens and earth for it.

If you can't become the equivalent of this useless stick of wood, then all your practice is in vain. The more you try to impress others, the more you become nothing but a madman doing a futile dance and the more you stray further and further away from cleansing the heart.

So you see, if you wish to cleanse the heart, you have to become a totally useless and worthless, a complete failure in the eyes of the world.

For the eternal, you have to sacrifice everything and turn your back on the world. You have to become someone who can be rejected by everyone, someone who can be despised everywhere, and someone who is dedicated to one thing and one thing only: cleansing the heart. Not a single other thing matters.
