The Essence of Life and Love : หน้า 35/62

What is Life? What is life? A fantasy lived half asleep Which disappears at dawn, Or time we borrow but cannot keep Soon to be repaid with interest? Life so far has been merely a reflection upon water Dissolving into fragments and then nothingness. Why bind ourselves To that which we cannot alter? The only rock amongst the confusion Is created by a mind infused with purity Whose eye sees with clarity Whose perception reaches to the center Where only joy and peacefulness may enter. Then life is finally lived as it should be, Filled with light until infinity. Luang Phaw Dhammajayo A Fair Way to Love As you now grasp the concept of preserving love and uplifting the high-spirited love to the elevated level of inner love, called Lovely Love, I shall introduce you to some real-life examples of our fellow friends. By fine tuning their concept of love to the Dhamma- and importing the knowledge into everyday practice, these individuals have attained 'the fair way to love'. The following pages contain a series of accounts of individuals who are on their journeys of attaining Lovely Love: married couples whose walls of cultural and religious differences melted away upon the warmth of the Dhamma being applied at home; an expatriate housewife whose ecstatic enlightenment on inner love by the power of deep meditative tranquility rooted out her agony of possessive affection and sowed the seed of a life-long relationship; a self-indulgent wife who woke up to realize the meaning of her life through a cognitive meditation voyage which catalyzed a makeover of her marriage and for a harmonious family, and a disappointed love-seeker whose spiritual rebirth into the life in the realm of truth, completed her quest with lasting delight from the acquired wisdom of inner love. Hopefully, these inspirational real-life accounts will become an example to others in their pursuit for endless love in their lives. PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
