Pensamiento Budista

Overcoming attachment does not mean becoming cold and indifferent. On the contrary, it means learning to have relaxed control over our mind through understanding the real causes of happiness and fulfillment, and this enables us to enjoy life more and suffer less.

-Kathleen McDonald, "How to Meditate"

Pensamiento Budista

It is easier to meditate than to actually do something for others. I feel that merely to meditate on compassion is to take the passive option. Our meditation should form the basis for action, for seizing the opportunity to do something.

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Decir te amo

Se ha vuelto tan difícil decir te amo.
Tan cauteloso el corazón, receloso de ser herido.
No he sanado todavía, lo se.
Miedo a ver amor en otros ojos,
miedo a que las heridas de otro vuelvan a abrir mis propias heridas.
Algunas apenas han cicatrizado, otras dejaron la piel marcada.
Y aun así se me escapa de los labios aquel anhelo de rozar la boca de un ser amado.
Aun así existe el deseo de sentir el calor de la piel en un fuerte abrazo que da cobijo,
que da ternura, que da pasión y que da paz.
Busco anhelante la mirada del amor en los ojos ajenos
que me recuerdan que el amor brota de una semilla que necesita tiempo para crecer.

Pensamiento Budista

Even the evil
meet with good fortune
as long as their evil
has yet to mature.
But when it's matured
that's when they meet
with evil.

Even the good
meet with bad fortune
as long as their good
has yet to mature.
But when it's matured
that's when they meet
with good fortune.

-Dhammapada, 9, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
