Spiritual Wisdom

Enlightenment is beyond words,
and because language is employed to describe it,
there is deviation from the actual.
Hence not to preach enlightenment is to show it.

Shanhui

On Meditation

The difficulty of meditation is not the training, but the letting go of preconceived ideas.
The experience of the true self is a state of awareness that cannot be defined; words cannot express living reality.

Dharma

Spiritual Wisdom

In the end, one has to abandon effort and just be open,
because as long as one is doing anything,
there can be no enlightenment experience.

Charles Berner

Meditation Thought

You must meditate without wasting time, thinking that there is only this day and this hour. After that, it becomes truly easy.
You must forget about the good and the bad of your nature, the strength or weakness of your power.

Dogen

Spiritual Wisdom

in the darkness of the night
with silence all around,
something softly awakens
whispers in gentle sounds,
a spark within dances
the dance of one taste,
taking me somewhere else
beyond time and space,
where all is light all is bliss
there is no sky no ground,
trying to look for my self,
"i" am nowhere to be found.......

Thought of the Day

“Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.” -Buddha

How can you make a difference today?

On Being Free

“Freedom is instantaneous the moment we accept things as they are.” -Karen Maezen Miller

You can’t change the world around you by fighting it in your head. Your stress, anger, disappointment, regret, frustration, and bitterness won’t do anything to alter what is.

You are the only force that can create the change you seek, and you can only do that after you accept things as they are.

Make peace with the here and now. Let go and stop resisting. It doesn’t have to mean you’ve given up on the possibility of something better. It just means you’ve decided to pursue it from a place of freedom and peace.

Coming Soon: New Online Wisdom & Personal Leadership Mentoring

Do we need more knowledge? Is more information going to save the world, or faster computers, more scientific or intellectual analysis? Is it not wisdom that humanity needs most at this time?
     
But what is wisdom and where is it to be found?


After implementing all the positive reactions and feedback concerning the first generation of online Wisdom & Personal Leadership Mentoring I'm excited to let you know that we will be launching the new version next week, and I'd love to invite you to join me in this unique approach:

Online Wisdom & Personal Leadership Mentoring is about getting what you want in your life. It is about discovering "what works in creating a life of true meaning, joy, love, appreciation, creativity, kindness, generosity, hope, optimism, energy, and enthusiasm". It's designed to be fun and to challenge you.
 
The boundaries and limitations that we may have set for ourselves are not as real as they seem. They are simply what we have been conditioned to believing. In these Online Wisdom & Personal Leadership Mentoring sessions, you will be stretched to go beyond your ideas of what you thought was possible, and will (re-)define your vision, and be guided to bring it into fulfillment.
 
The program consists of a series of 6 video-email and 1 skype sessions; you will receive the sessions within 1  month; you can choose to follow them according to the proposed or according to your own schedule.

Stay tuned for the special Announcement Newsletter next week!

With best regards,

Dieter

Just curious

Many paradigms are changing - so where do you see the future of humanity heading?

Spiritual Wisdom

The ego-self is the root that causes our pain.
Our pains are all because of something that has to do with "I".
The less any happenings affect me, the less intense the pain.
Desire is the most difficult fire for human beings to control.
