Our regular blog on all things relating to Buddhism and the Buddha - including the bizarre ,strange ,magnificent and awesome elements of what is the world's most peaceful and inspiring religous philosophy.
"I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done."
Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
Nothing is forever - in Tibetan Buddhist culture theirs is a tradition of making beautiful and intricate sand 'mandalas' by placing carefully- grain by grain - coloured sand onto a flat surface to make perfectly symmetrical and inspiring designs. It is a deliberate act of philosophical creation and then by consciously destroying it in order to view it in the same way as a flower or a person - everything is impermanent - everything will die.
