The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
Life is like a book with three chapters. Two are already written by God - Birth and Death. The chapter in the middle is empty; fill it with your smile, love and faith.
Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
Fasting in the monastic community is considered an ascetic practice, a “dhutanga” practice. Dhutanga means “to shake up” or “invigoration”. The Buddha, as is well known, emphasized moderation, the Middle Way that avoids extremes, in all things. Fasting is an additional method that one can take up, with supervision, for a time.
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
