Reflection No.51 - Reflections of Ven Lindagala Ananda Thero


Reflections 

Ven Lindagala Ananda Thero

"Indeed, Buddhism is not just a religion, it is a way of life. Just like Gautama Buddha who left his life of riches, we too must surrender our pride and egoism. We can still live a normal lives, but we must live in a mindful and peaceful way. We need to plant the seeds of Loving-kindness, Compassion, friendship, hope and truth in this world. The current world is full of pain and sorrow. Many people rush in and out of their daily life forgetting why we are alive. However, we must never succumb to the demands of this money driven society. It is our sacred duty to be a symbol of goodness to others. That is why we should try to live simple and be satisfied and happy with what we have. Just allow life to flow naturally without greed, Anger and other all negative thoughts. Then, naturally, peace and happiness will arise within us...."

"May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes....
May all sentient beings be free from dangers and  suffering and its causes....
May all sentient beings not be separated from sorrowless bliss....
May all sentient beings abide in equanimity free of bias, attachment and anger, and share Loving-kindness and compassion with others....."

May the Noble Triple Gems the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha bless you, all other family members, dhamma friends and every being to have good health, peace, ease, comfort, success and happiness by being free from all viruses, diseases, disasters, fear, depression, sicknesses, problems, worries, difficulties and sufferings....! I'm sharing lot of merits and mettā to all of you. May every heart be filled with joy, compassion, happiness and success. May the happiness be set up at every corners of the world.....!
