Be Someone who can share your joy with others.
Strive to truly understand the feelings of others. By doing so, you will be able to share in other’s happiness (PL2014.18)
Oyashikiri
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
It’s easy to place the blame on others and society for the problems you encounter in life. But you are the one with the power to change the outcome. (PL2019.28)
Oyashikiri
Day of Peace, 1st of each month. Ceremony is at 10 a.m.
Use the power of your smile. A smile has the power to help people feel at ease, cheer them up, and at times, give them courage. Smile and spread your warmhearted energy to the people around you. (PL2018.3)
Oyashikiri
Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best” Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best. (PL2019.15)
Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up”, but that is the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
nugget… for seeing the birds, the earlier you journey out into the woods, the more likely you will find “activity”… we’ve all heard the expression.. “it is the early bird that catches the worm”
Yes, the fruit trees are flowering, and so is the magnolia. AND the mosquitoes are starting to be active. bring out the repellent, check what is left from last year does it need replacing? Thank you for your kindness and support. Little steps…
May 1st. in PL we celebrate the 1st of each month with a Day of Peace ceremony. We pray for World Peace and renew our dedication to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. Today was also my Mother’s birthday, I will do a special prayer in her memory, and include all my family and friends who have shared part of my journey with me. Love in one’s life is what brings contentment.
Always remember that world peace is everything. If each and every one of us prays for World Peace, we can make it a reality. Let’s keep this in mind as we live each day. PL2015.1
I am blessed to have kind thoughtful people in my life, I appreciate each and every one. Life’s journey would be bleak and bare if we can’t share. Thank YOU all for being part of the world I live in.
Begin today with a smile, spring is bringing new growth, new hope, the buds will open, a new season has begun. We are all ONE under the moon/sun.
Be cheerful and friendly with those around you. Other people can sense how you are feeling. So, be cheerful. PL2022.24
PL Precept 18 Each moment is a turning point
Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective, The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad, It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate, PL 2015.17
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
Fresh fallen snow, always gives a picture of “new beginnings” – maybe not the best weather to drive in, but so beautiful visually – I am so blessed to have this vista within a short drive from where I live. When I arrived this morning (when picture was taken) the birds were so happy to see I had not been deterred from visiting. No chipmunks turned up, but the little brown and red squirrels bounced through the wet snow to come greet me. What a sight when breakfast was served, the blue jays were first to arrive with their loud enthusiastic cheers they sent calls out to all their ‘buddies”
New beginnings. The Ottawa church of PL (Perfect Liberty) has begun a new chapter, Please join us this Sunday to meet the new minister Rev Hiroki Matuski and his lovely wife Yoshiko. Hirok Sensi and Yoshiko look forward to meeting you. There will be coffee/tea (light refreshment) after the Gathering Service.
When taking on a task, start fresh without being biased or jumping to conclusions. When your thinking is too rigid you will be unable to deal with ideas in a flexible and constructive way, Always strive to look at thing with a fresh mind.
