The Beacon in the Sky

The Meditations – Marcus Aurelius
“Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man – yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.” – Marcus Aurelius […]
Light and Shadow
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow. – Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
Life
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. – Lao Tzu
Joy and Sorrow
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. – Khalil Gibran
Compassion
A bit of fragrance Always clings to the hand That gives you the flower – Chinese proverb
Hourglass
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it. – Jean Paul

A Spiritual Guru: J. Krishnamurti

Jiddu Krishnamurti was one of the most popular spiritual gurus in Asia in the 70s and 80s. I have a chance to watch a video about his conversation with Chognam Trungpa Rinpoche regarding the topic, ‘What is meditation?’ I have a new perspective about his reputation as a spiritual guru. My father used to say, “You can be disappointed if you met a famous book author personally.”

Sometimes, it is better to keep the contact the author through the book itself. But, I have learned a lot of insight from his books. I still appreciate to his existence in my journey to find myself.
