-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There's no need to compare ourselves
with others and subsequently
get frustrated or anxious,
instead let's work on developing
an unwavering indestructible self!
Buddhism teaches the principle of
"cherry, plum, peach and damson."*
Each and every one of us
definitely has a unique mission,
a unique role
that only we can fulfil!
*"each thing – the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson – in its own entity, without undergoing any change , possesses the eternally endowed three bodies"
(OTT, page 200)
