Many of us desire and accumulate unnecessary possessions like it’s an addiction.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

Impermanence and selflessness are not negative aspects of life, but the very foundation on which life is built.

The Buddha often spoke of and taught upon the values of the middle way – not to either extreme in life.

The Buddha taught that to realize enlightenment, a person must develop two qualities: wisdom and compassion. So if a fulfilling life is what you are after, or if you want to add some unexpected joy to your life, work in service of others. I am not referring to jobs or bosses in the traditional sense though these too can been seen as service to others. It’s truly a delicate exchange.
