Beautiful teachings of Lord Buddha

 One beggar happened to meet Lord Buddha and asked ‘Why I am so poor?’

Lord Buddha says “ You are not poor at all.  You have not learned the habit of giving and you are not willing to give away.”

Beggar “ I have nothing to give away.  I am born as poor.”

Lord Buddha says “You have things to give, not less at all.   You have face to smile, you have eyes to enjoy visuals, look at others with compassion and keep yourself happy.  You have a mouth to converse with people, you can speak with humility, kindness, compassion, love.  You can motivate people and pacify them with sweet words.  You have a heart; you can be open, sincere, truthful and kind.  You have a body to utilize it for labor and even help others. Therefore you are not poor at all.”

Devi Kausalya asked Rama ‘Did you kill Ravan’ when Rama returned after fourteen years of exile from the Kingdom of Ayodhya.  Rama’s astounding reply was ‘ Mahagyani who is highly scholastic, Mahaprathapi who has great splendor, Mahabalashali who is most powerful, Akhandapandit who has vast knowledge and wise, Mahan Shivabhakth, who  is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, composed the marvelous verses praising the splendor of Lord Shiva in Shivathandava Sthothram..... The mighty Lankesh was killed by his Ego.”


 It is essential to know about Ego, it is a sense of entitlement, tendency to put blame on others, criticize in every possible manner, spreading rumors without knowing the after effects, looking out for the best, breed negativity, value material possessions, fear of changes, constantly worries about something or the other or something which does not exists at all, self-centered, hypercritical on every subject and compares with other people,  seeking justification for anger,  and stamp themselves as a victim of circumstances, self- denial,  and  always have a sense of living in scarcity and resentment.

Many are having trouble with sleep; I am also finding the same for several years now.  There are a few techniques which help to fall asleep, I consume a lot of honey with fruit salad or with ginger.  I have experienced that meditation and slow breathing techniques do wonders to keep the mind calm, keeping bed space stuffed with pillows and quilt makes comfortable, keeping a low temperature in the room and sticking on a fixed time to go to bed helps a lot.    The toxic poisons like anger and ignorance also definitely contribute a lot to sleep disorders,   spending quality time with the family so that we won't regret that we had spent little time with them.  Early to bed will definitely help to fall asleep easily, we all know it is essential to have good sleep for mental and physical well - being.   I think give a kick start to our passion helps a lot to remove difficulties in falling asleep.  During the day time taking short breaks from the work will not drain our energy.   I  shed tears when I really want to, acceptance is the key to let things go otherwise it will clutter our brain, practice to stay calm,  be authentic and express our emotions,  and last but not the least seek help when we really needed.   Always focus on what you have and don’t chew over what you have lost.  The excellent technique to tune our happy hormones by meditation, good sleep, regular exercise, the practice of gratitude, spending solid hours with nature is the best method to achieve overall well-being…stay healthy & cheerful!
