Ship's log - 7 July 2008

We are three months into the voyage. I don’t know about you but it is quite a journey for me as I revisit some of the shores I touched at during difficult times. Here I am dusting off old sea charts of dangerous shoaling waters long left behind, but at the same time I am discovering how soon we forget the lessons we learned and how we need to remember them, as I am remembering them now. This site is becoming a storehouse of all the best philosophy that helped me in the past and it feels very satisfying to record it and to share it with you. It is a reflection of what I would have liked to find when I was in need of guidance. And as we continue the voyage it will transform, I hope, into a voyage of discovery, as we leave familiar shores and head out into the open sea.

What Buddha said

What Buddha said
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

He is able who thinks he is able.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
