"Things change moment to moment,
things are impermanent.
We worry over the past,
we anticipate the future,
and we barely perceive a shred of the passing moment."

-- H.H. The XIV Dalai Lama

 

"Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself. To expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts toward others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can."

-- H.H. The XIV Dalai Lama

Compassionate Awakening; Listen for the constant change. Experience it as you walk the lands at the Hermitage Cottage.Watch flowers emerge, sing in their glory, and disappear in the night. Wake up your Buddha Within. S/he's been waiting, expectantly, patiently.
With discipline, tenderness, curiosity, and compassion seek to live more mindfully in the exquisitely subtle flow of the present moment.
