The Period Of Greatest Gain In Knowledge

According To Accounts Of The Buddha's Life, It Would Seem That He Had A Very Deep Relationship With Nature. He Was Not Born In The Royal Palace But In A Park, Under A Sala Tree. He Attained Complete Enlightenment Under The Bodhi Tree And Left This Earth To Enter Parinirvana, Again, Between Three Sala Trees. It Would Seem That The Buddha Was Very Fond Of Trees.

Everybody Loves To Talk About Calmness And Peace, Whether In A Family, National, Or International Context, But Without Inner Peace How Can We Make Real Peace? World Peace Through Hatred And Force Is Impossible.

If We Looked Down At The World From Space, We Would Not See Any Demarcations Of National Boundaries. We Would Simply See One Small Planet, Just One.

External Circumstances Can Contribute To One's Happiness And Well-being, But Ultimately Happiness And Suffering Depend On The Mind.

If You Serve Others As Fully As You Can, What You Do Will Be A Source Of Inner Joy.
