Background
In Theravada Buddhism's Pali Canon, metta is one of the four "divine abodes" (Pali: brahmavihara) recommended for cultivating interpersonal harmony and meditative concentration (see, for instance, kammmatthana). In later canonical works (such as the Cariyapitaka), metta is one of ten "perfections" (parami) that facilitates the attainment of awakening (bodhi) and is a prerequisite to attaining buddhahood.
According to post-canonical Sutta Nipata commentary, the background story for the Metta Sutta is that a group of monks is harassed by earth-dwelling deities in a forest; when the monks seek the Buddha's aid in dealing with the deities, the Buddha teaches the monks the Metta Sutta for them to recite regularly; the monks do so and, as a result, win over the deities' good will.

Contents
The Mettā Sutta contains a number of recollections or recitations that promote the development of mettā through virtuous characteristics and meditation.
The discourse identifies fifteen moral qualities and conditions conducive to the development of metta. These include such qualities as being non-deceptive (uju), sincere (suju), easy to correct (suvaco), gentle (mudu) and without arrogance (anatimani).
In terms of meditative development, the discourse identifies:
an intentional wish that facilitates generating metta (Pali: sukhino va khemino hontu; English: "May all beings be happy and safe")
a means for developing meditational objects (a list of various sizes, proximity, etc.) for such a wish a prototypical metaphor — of a mother's protective love for her only child — to be extended to all beings a method for radiating metta outwards in all directions

Use
It is often recited as part of religious services in the Theravada tradition. Cultivating mettā through the recitation of the Mettā Sutta is sometimes believed to have apotropaic powers within the Theravāda tradition.
It has been reported that Buddhist monks chanted the "Mettā Sutta" as part of their demonstration in September and October 2007 against the military in Burma.

You have more harmony points with every person
on the planet than you have disharmony points,
because there is much more of you
that is in harmony with your Core
than you realize or that most of you allow.
The closer you come to being in harmony with your Source Energy,
the more in harmony you are with each other.
When you think about other people and what they think of you,
do you understand that what they think of you
has very little to do with what you are?
It has mostly to do with the habits of thought
that they have developed.
It has more to do with them as thinkers
than it does with you as the subject of their thought.
If nothing is more important to you than that you feel good,
you can form a fantasy about someone who is in your life
and they will begin to modify to meet your fantasy,
because Law of Attraction is a very powerful thing.

Life a Miracle



Watch him sing and play.

It will touch you, it will sooth your mind. It will release you from ALL your problems and troubles. You will see 'Godliness' in everything and everyone you meet.

To put it in Michael Beckwith's word:

"....it will take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you. It will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your every existence. If you let it. Now that is what I know, for sure."

Enjoy his songs, but most importantly, start to see your Life as a Miracle, Here and Now...

Personal Notes to Myself.....

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
It's not what happens to you in life that counts;
it's how you take it, and what you make of it.
Denis Waitley
An optimist is the human personification of spring.
Susan J. Bissonette
A character is
a completely fashioned will.
Novalis
Take your job seriously,
BUT don't take their complaints personally.
If you take it personally,
you'll get upset and lose your edge.
If you take it too personally,
you'll lose your edge and your job.
If you take it seriously--it's you with them.
If you take it personally, it's you against them.
What steps can you take
to ensure keeping your cool?

We WIN!


A Tribute to Obama
for His wisdom and love
and whatever he truthfully symbolizes
- the Hope, the Change.
Yes, WE CAN!

Athlete's Prayer

God, let me play well but fairly.
Help me to learn something that matters
once the game is over.
Let competition make me strong but never hostile.
Always let me help my opponent up.
Never catch me rejoicing in the adversity of others.
If I know victory, allow me to be happy; if I am denied, keep me from envy.
Remind me that sports are just games.
If through athletics I set an example,
let it be a good one.

- Gregg Easterbook

Know

Your heart knows in silence
the secrets of the days and the nights
but your ears thirst
for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words
that which you have always
known in thought
You would touch
with your fingers
the naked body of your dreams

Self is a sea of knowledge
boundless and measureless

Kahlil Gibran

ALL

All life is darkness unless there is urge
All urge is blind unless there is knowledge
All knowledge is vain unless there is work
All work is empty unless there is love

"When you work
you are a flute through whose heart
the whispering of the hours turns to music"

"Weave the cloth from the thread of your heart.
Build a house with affection’’

"Work is love made visible"

OPPORTUNITIES

OPPORTUNITIES
"There is no security in life, only opportunity."
Denis Waitley

"Pa, he always said a man had to look spry for himself,
because nobody else would do it for him;
your opportunities didn't come knocking around,
you had to hunt them up and hog-tie them."
Louis L'Amour

"Effective people are not problem-minded;
they're opportunity-minded.
They feed opportunities and starve problems."
Stephen Covey

Four Leaf Clover

Four-leaf Clover
A Poem by Ella Higginson

I know a place where the sun is like gold
and the cherry blooms burst with snow,
and down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for HOPE,
and one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE,
you know,
And GOD
put another in for LUCK
--If you search,
you will find where they grow.

But you must have HOPE,
and you must have FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong
-- and so --If you work,
if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow~!

We are the LEADER, We Choose...

We are the LEADER, We Choose = We are the Leader We Choose.

LEAD Without Title.
I mean, LEAD yourself, your company,
oh of course, YOUR COUNTRY.
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING.
JUST DO IT!!!!

Thank You....with grattitude.
And now I share with you some wisdom words
of Robin Sharma, my favourite author and speaker:


What don’t you like about your life or the organization
you work for or the country you live in?
Make a list. Write it down. Shout it out.
And then do something to improve things.
Anything. Start small or go big. Just do something.
Today. Now. The world will be better for it.”

Each day, life will send you little windows of opportunity.
Our destiny is ultimately defined by how we respond
to these windows of opportunity.
Shrink from them and your life will be small.
Feel the fear and run to them anyway,
and your life will be large.”

And as you begin to shed light
on your personal weaknesses
and take responsibility for them,
you actually begin the process of shedding them.
You become stronger. More powerful.
More of who you were meant to be.”

Let me ask you:
Where would this world be without the crazy ones?
Bill Gates envisioned a computer on every desk
in every home at a time when they took up a building.
JFK promised he’d put a man on the moon
when most people were consumed with life on earth.
The Wright Brothers got us flying
when everyone else said it couldn’t be done!”

Big idea: Your days are your life in miniature.
As you live your days, so you craft your life.
What you do today is actually creating your future.
The words you speak, the thoughts you think,
the food you eat and the actions you take
are defining your destiny – shaping who you are becoming
and what your life will stand for.
There’s no such thing as an unimportant day.”
Good Day - to You and Me.
Great Blessings - to ALL.

Be Positive!


Wisdom in Business...


BUSINESS LOGICS

Father: 'I want you to marry a girl of my choice.'
Son: 'I will choose my own bride!'
Father: 'But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter.'
Son: 'Well, in that case...ok'
Next day Father approaches Bill Gates.
Father: 'I have a husband for your daughter.'
Bill Gates: 'But my daughter is too young to marry!'
Father: 'But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.'
Bill Gates: 'Ah, in that case...ok'
Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Father: 'I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.'
President: 'But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!'
Father: 'But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law.'
President: 'Ah, in that case...ok'

This is how business is done!!
Moral: Even If you have nothing, You can get Anything.
But your ATTITUDE should be POSITIVE !

Real Strength

A bunch of weak people,
even in numbers,
aren't strong.
Get a whole bunch of
confused people together
and see how much clarity
comes out of it.
In other words,
you just can't add one more
confused person to the pot,
and expect to get
any more clarity…
One—standing outside
of the confused group
—who is clear,
is more powerful
than a million
who are confused.

What's NEXT?

A Client of mine, let's call her Anita, read out her feelings that she wrote on her diary during a recent reading session. I kinda like her writing, so upon my request, she is sharing it here with everyone:-

"So I thought, maybe this is a sign. I am not big on reading signs. Mostly I do not wish to believe in them but sometimes, you just want to believe because you are not always in control of the situation and I have been feeling much of that of late.

So there I was in Pandan Indah picking up a guy whom I have never met before but believes because Guy says he is trustworthy. I was not feeling anxious of scared. Just a little curious, maybe a little skeptical of how the rest of the evening will progress. I was waiting outside his condominium. In a way, he looked like how I would imagine he would. A medium built man, very fair but gentle looking. He looked kind and that is most important. I felt like I can trust him in an instance. So far, I have not been wrong about the characters of those I choose to call friends. We drove to a nearby eatery. It is dimly lit, with slightly overpriced ya-ya looking drinks. He chose a slightly bigger table so that he could place his cards. Cards, I asked? Tarot cards? No angel cards and there is a difference. Angel cards are aided by angels, he said. I raised an eyebrow. Of course I did. My experiences with tarot cards are all from shows like CSI.

"So, tell me your story," Ching Wei started.I am wondering where to begin. In the beginning would be good. The spot I identify to be the beginning of the end of me and Brandon. It started with Brandon quitting his job and pursuing a dream which did not materialize. I tried to condense the past 6 years in 15 minutes. I spoke about my anger, frustration, disgust, contempt and ultimately, a demise of feelings for him. And then I went to Mark. How we met, how important he is in my life now, and yet non-existent in a way. I try to keep him real by talking about him to friends. I am sure he doesn't like it. But what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him. As far as Mark is concerned, only Mallory and Dian know and that too freaks him out a little. When we first met, Mark can even ask me what my parents will say about my having a kwailo boyfriend. He doesn't ask anymore. I do not know how he feels for me. I can't guess and I do not know how to speculate. This lack of feel for the pulse of our relationship makes me anxious where it is going. Mark keeps saying that I shouldn't think too much. He may not (or have time to think so much since he is so super busy or want to since he has a baby coming) but I do. Does he even worry about us? What is his story with his wife? Why is he willing to take the risk with me if he fears being found out so much? He is a foreigner, I told Ching Wei. It was easy to talk about him.

Ching Wei took some cards out. Asked me to choose some number and then placed the cards out in a pyramid of 9 cards. As he spoke, I noticed he took some cards out. He said those were my future and in his line he does not tell people what their futures are else it becomes self-fulfilling. Geez, isn't this why people seek fortune tellers? To read the fortunes of the future? But I understood what he meant and I shut up.

He said to me – Do not worry. Everything will be all right. But if you do something drastic, like divorce your husband now, or leave Mark or whatever, then only disaster will fall. It wouldn't even be a win-lose situation. It'd just be lose-lose. No one will benefit. He said I am not at peace with myself. I cried when he said that. I couldn't hold it in. The tears just streamed. He cannot be more accurate. I have problems being with me. I go crazy and I can't sleep. I do not know why I feel this way or when it started to be like this because I didn't start out in life being like this. As a growing kid, I spent hours in my room alone. Creating my own world. Doing my own thing. Now it seems like I cannot function without company….even with company I do not like, like Brandon's. I fear being alone and this fear is crippling. And even though I know Mark and I seem all wrong, I can't leave him because he has become someone important in my life.

Sure, Ching Wei said, he is your soul mate. When he said that, I am reminded of the skype conversation with Mark. When he suddenly asked if I think we are soulmates. I told him I did. Ching Wei said I needed to take time to be with me. I told him I'm off to a far-off-land without my family. He said that is a good thing. Ching Wei said that Mark loves me and that he cannot do what he needs to do for obvious reasons. He said that I should try to make him open up his feelings. Talk about his problems with his wife. I told him that would be hard because Mark hardly ever does. The only time he does is to tell me about his baby. He said that Mark is worried about the baby and that is true and that I should tell him not to worry because the baby is going to be fine. How do I make Mark open up? This is something I still struggle with. Ching Wei said that once I find me, then I will know what to do. The answer will present itself. The best to do now, is to just live my life and let things be. This is the only thing I CAN do, I told him.

Of course I asked, how long is this going to take? What are we talking about here? A month? Two? A year? Give me a time frame. He can't (or won't) answer me. All he can tell me is I will not be disappointed with the end. It will be all right and it will be something I will be happy with. Mark is the right one for me and Brandon is not in my future. I think I heard him but still…. Then he brought out a picture of Gabriel. Angel of Marriage. A Caucasian looking male-angel! Ching Wei said – this is him. He is a kwailo. I can't believe it. He got it spot on. Then he took out another card. Long straight black hair asian looking woman. And this is you, he said. I need meditation, peace of mind.

2 things happened at the reading. Firstly Ila sms-ed me. Some stuff about not believing in my doubts and not doubting my beliefs. I showed Ching Wei who told me that it never fails to happen – the past visits at readings. I told Ching Wei about Ila. He got it right again when he said Ila is not Chinese. The second thing is a song about angels was playing. He asked me to ask Mark if Mark believed in crystals or aromatherapy. Mark couldn't answer the phone but sms back that he did. Ching Wei said that confirmed all that he told me about Mark. Just go forth in the relationship without worries but caution that sometimes things get worse before they get better.

I asked about my kids. He said they are fine. They have guardian angels looking after them. Go to the far-off-land without worries.

As I am writing this now. Recalling this conversation of 2½ weeks past, much has already happened. We had our first argument, and he even suggested we break up. He said he loved me then he didn't mention it again. He said he has chosen a name for his baby and then refused to tell me because it is a surprise (to whom I wonder – that is just plain stupid). We had another weekend together. He told me his baby has big feet. We drove back together and I saw how angry he can be on the road with "dumb Malaysian drivers". I introduced him to Steven and that relationship seems to be taking off pretty good. Steven has no idea what is going on. Vincent has no idea what is going on. I wish someone from his circle knows of me. Just a little. Even if it's just to know that I am in his life. But Steven tells me Mark is a 51% shareholder in his brother in law's business back where he is from. If it is Natalie's brother then I can see some problems. But if its brother in law from his sister/brother side, then maybe things will not be complicated. But that is over analyzing. Which is something I freaking shouldn't do. Feelings have not diminished. If anything it has strengthened somewhat. I say somewhat because sometimes I just do not know what the hell is going on. So what is this future I seek. In my mind, I am thinking wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a baby together. How beautiful the baby will be. It will be a girl, called Tara. Long black hair, big blue eyes. I wonder if he thinks the same. We will have all our kids with us, of course. And it's the other bits of the puzzle like Natalie and Brandon that I can't place.

And so there. I have written what I set out to do after speaking to Mallory about my reading with Ching Wei. She said I should write it down lest I forget. She is right. And now that I have, what's next?

Say it again and again...what You need to Say!

Say it Loudly and Repeatedly...

Your Way, Your Principle, Your Thinking, Your Passion...

Say, what You need to Say.

Say what You need to Say


AH-My Principle, My Philosophy, My Way... Say what You need to Say!

Take all of your wasted honor.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations.

Say what you need to say (x8)

Walkin' like a one man army,
Fightin' with the shadows in your head.
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead

If you could only...Say what you need to say (x8)

Have no fear for givin' in.
Have no fear for giving over.
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin',
Do it with a heart wide open.

Say what you need to say (x7)

Say what you need to, Say what you need to...

Say what you need to say.

About Robin Sharma

What an Amazing teacher HE is!

I taught to some youths about his ideas, but nobody seems to know and appreciate his values and importance.... it seems that the organized religious group that they belonged to had stop them from Authentic Growing, and they are half-dead because of too many dogmatic rules and non-sense rubbish; no fun...no humour.... their souls are empty and dry.

I felt sad for them, as they were the victim of someone's ignorance; but I felt even puzzled and shocked by the organization they belonged to - these socalled religious people don't even know what they are doing - to all the young and innocent and beautiful souls. I believe that 'control dramas' and 'insecurity projection' are the greatest Sin you can do to others, both emotionlly and spiritually.

Anyway, I do appreciate you, Sharma - you are great, and in so many ways, BETTER than those Priests and Politicians!

Back from Singapore

I learned so many seemingly trivial but vitally important things during my train(ning???) trip to Singapore. Transformative, at least; I think. I write it down here, hoping that this is informative for you as well.
I’ve learned that:
To enjoy the journey is more important than holding on to the destination, half the fun is on the way. This includes your personal goals and wishes.
To enjoy the ride, no map, no agenda, no plan is needed. Only a relax and happy mind, plus some carefree dignity.
I clicked some pictures of my own and some of the scenery's. learned to be spontaneous, listened to my heart, regardless of what others might think or say.
I used to mark some passages that I read from any book very systematically, some straight lines, with an artline 600 yellow color marker pen. I’ve changed it in the train. I enjoyed ‘drawing’ curves and funny (and sunny!) yellow shapes around some aphorisms or wisdom words I like. It’s fun – I’ve learned flexibility and living in the ‘presence’ (even when I am writing this on the pad note, yeah, in the same train, the feeling of ‘go with the flow’ is simply there…)
Thus my current words and works are marked with spaciousness and sheer joy…
Some ‘wisdom pearls’ that I’ve found strikingly attractive, even though I’ve owned the book by moon “The Power of the Gift” for years (I must confess that, I didn’t finish it even until today…) but the jewels in it are shining now:-)
I read some news about some local politicians accusing each other. True or false? Right or wrong? Good or bad? Believe or abandon? Support or reject? Faith or doubt? Justice or scandals? – or simply the mixtures of these two dichotomy? Who knows….anyway? looks like Malaysian has to live with this kind of uncertainties for quite some time before the truth is revealed. But just be patient enough there, a light of wisdom will shine through illuminate the dark night of the souls.
• “Only god knows,” some said. “But YOU have the answers!” my heart said. And I totally agree. My heart never lies.
One door closed, another opens; two doors closed, many opportunities blossom... A path is showed, almost immediately. I have windows in front and beside me. Great blessings and abundance are all around us!
I am on a wonderful journey of peace and love, of unexpected surprises and infinite innate discoveries.
I am overjoyed by this simple finding.
Making affirmative statements on the train is interesting. The outer world is shaky and uncertain, but my inner voice is clear and loud; determined and strong.
• “I believe in Miracles. I believe in Angels. I believe in Synchronicity. I trust Life, I follow the Flow. All is Well, and my Life is beautiful!”
Just a simple Smile. A stranger made my heart warmth, and a thousand petal lotus blossoms beautifully. Simplicity rises, joint hands with awareness to celebrate their co-existence…
Trains paused and go, paused and go, then we shall reach very soon. We should BE RICH as well, within and without. Life is but a trip of Reaching RICHfullness. Both for oneself and others.
I’ve brought some Feng shui books and magazine as reading materials. But what is the BEST feng shui of a moving motion or a dynamic object, like this train? Can’t find any answer from the books…REAL answer MUST comes from the True Knowing Mind.
Train stopped. I thought I reached. But it’s only an illusion. I remember what Rumi said, “if a tree would know how to run and walk, it wouldn’t worry about being chop-off…” wondrous wisdom. Ok, keep growing and learning and changing and maturing….
False expectations make you weak, real love and authentic confidence make you strong and keep going...
Everything is impermanent - which is good. Everything is moving, even a static stone. So soon we shall reach, our destiny is on the Way...
Whatever it may BE....just continue, AH, the journey of Life!
