Someone from the audience asked the Dalai Lama why he didn't fight back against
the Chinese. He simply smiled and said, "Well, war is obsolete, you know. The
mind can rationalize fighting back, but the heart... the heart would never
understand. If you fight, then you yourself would be divided (the heart and the
mind), and then the war would be inside you."

O rei e o sbio

Era uma vez um rei que vivia num lindo palcio. Um dia o rei levantou-se assustado, pois tinha
tido um terrvel pesadelo onde perdia no mesmo dia todos os seus dentes. Preocupado
ordenou ao seu mordomo:
- Chama imediatamente o nosso melhor sbio.
Poucos minutos depois o sbio chega ao palcio e aps o rei lhe contar o seu terrvel pesadelo,
ordenou:
- Diz-me sbio, o que significa este pesadelo?
O sbio pensou pensou pensou e disse ao rei:
- Majestade, vai acontecer uma desgraa na sua famlia. Uma doena grave ir invadir o
palcio e morrero tantos familiares seus, quantos foram os dentes que lhe caram no seu
pesadelo.
O rei indignado ordenou a um dos seus guardas que chicoteasse 100 vezes o sbio.
- Chamem-me outro sbio, que este maluco. ordenou o rei.
De seguida aparece outro sbio e o rei conta-lhe o seu pesadelo:
- Diz-me sbio, o que significa este pesadelo?
O sbio pensou pensou pensou olhou para o rei, sorriu e disse:
- Majestade, voc um iluminado, um protegido de Deus. Uma doena grave ir invadir o
palcio e morrero tantos familiares seus, quantos foram os dentes que lhe caram no seu
pesadelo, mas apesar de toda esta desgraa vossa Alteza ir sobreviver so e salvo.
O rei, feliz da vida, ordenou que entregassem ao sbio 100 moedas de ouro.
Quando o sbio saiu, o mordomo admirado perguntou:
- Que feitio que lanou sobre o rei?
- Limitei-me a dizer a verdade. respondeu o sbio.
- No possvel. Ainda pouco um outro sbio fez exactamente a mesma interpretao e foi
punido com 100 chicotadas e voc foi recompensado com 100 moedas de ouro. respondeu o
mordomo.
- Lembra-te meu amigo, tudo depende da maneira como se diz o que se tem para dizer. Um
dos grandes desafios da humanidade aprender a arte de comunicar. Da comunicao
depende, muitas vezes, a felicidade ou a desgraa, a paz ou a guerra. No devero haver
dvidas que a verdade deve ser dita em qualquer situao, mas a forma como a verdade
comunicada pode causar grandes dissabores. respondeu o sbio.
- Dissabores!? Como assim? perguntou o mordomo.

- Imagina que a verdade uma pedra preciosa. Se a lanarmos contra a cara de algum, essa
pessoa pode ficar ferida, provocando-lhe dor e revolta. Mas se colocarmos a pedra preciosa
dentro de uma caixa e a oferecermos a algum com ternura, certamente ser aceite com
alegria. respondeu o sbio.
- Mas isso muito difcil de fazer. afirmou o mordomo.
- Se antes de dizeres a verdade a algum a disseres a ti prprio diante de um espelho,
confirmars a tua prpria reaco e ters a certeza se valer a pena seguir em frente ou no
avanar com a tua inteno. contraps o sbio.
O sbio seguiu o seu caminho e ao longe gritou:
- Nunca te esqueas, o segredo para uma boa comunicao encontra-se na forma como
dizemos a verdade aos outros.

Um dos maiores segredos para uma comunicao de sucesso saber gerir e aplicar as
emoes certas durante o seu discurso.

A PARBOLA DO FAZENDEIRO E DO TRIGO

Misria significa que as coisas no esto de acordo com seus desejos. E as coisas
nunca esto de acordo com seus desejos, no podem estar. As coisas apenas vo
seguindo sua natureza.
Lao Tsu chama essa natureza de Tao. O Buda chama essa natureza de Dhamma.
Mahavir definiu a religio como "a natureza das coisas". Nada pode ser perfeito. O
fogo quente e a gua fresca. Um homem sbio aquele que relaxa em ao em
relao natureza das coisas, aquele que segue a natureza das coisas.
E quando voc segue a natureza das coisas, no h sombras a seu redor. No h
infelicidade. Mesmo a tristeza luminosa nesse caso, mesmo a tristeza bela. No
digo que no haver tristeza: ela vir, mas no ser sua inimiga. Voc ser capaz
de ver sua graa e ser capaz de ver por que est l e por que necessria.

Me contaram uma antiga parbola - deve ser bem antiga, porque Deus vivia na
terra nessa poca. Um dia um homem foi at ele, um velho fazendeiro, e disse:
"Olhe, voc pode ser Deus e pode ter criado o mundo, mas devo lhe dizer uma
coisa: voc no um fazendeiro. Voc nem sabe o bsico sobre fazendas. Deus
disse: "Qual o seu conselho?" O fazendeiro respondeu: Me d um ano, me deixe
fazer as coisas do meu jeito e voc ver o que vai acontecer. No haver mais

pobreza!"
Deus estava disposto a tentar e deu um ano para o fazendeiro. Naturalmente, este
pediu apenas o melhor, s pensou no melhor: sem troves, sem fortes ventanias,
sem perigos para as plantaes. Tudo era muito confortvel, acolhedor, e ele estava
muito feliz. O trigo estava crescendo muito! Quando ele queria sol, havia sol.
Quando ele queria chuva, havia chuva, e tanta chuva quanto ele achasse
necessrio. Nesse ano tudo esteve correto, matematicamente correto.
Mas, quando foi feita a colheita, no havia gros de trigo dentro. O fazendeiro ficou
surpreso e perguntou a Deus o que havia acontecido, o que havia sado errado.
Deus disse: "Como no houve dificuldades nem conflitos, nenhum atrito, como voc
evitou tudo aquilo que podia ser ruim, o trigo se tornou impotente. necessrio que
haja alguma dificuldade. As tempestades, os troves, os raios, todos eles so
necessrios. Eles fazem com que a alma do trigo se mobilize."
Se voc est apenas feliz, feliz e feliz, a felicidade ir perder todo o seu sentido.
Ser como algum que escreve com giz branco sobre uma parede branca. Ningum
ser capaz de ler o que foi escrito. preciso escrever em um quadro-negro para que
as coisas se tornem claras. A noite to necessria quanto o dia. E os dias de
tristeza so to essenciais quanto os de alegria. Chamo isso de compreenso. Uma
vez que voc tenha entendido isso, pode relaxar: nesse relaxamento estar a
entrega. Voc dir: "Seja feita a vossa vontade." Voc dir: "Faa o que achar mais
correto. Se hoje forem necessrias nuvens, que venham nuvens. No me oua,
minha compreenso limitada. O que sei sobre a vida e seus segredos? No me
oua! Continue agindo de acordo com a sua vontade."
Ento, lentamente, quanto mais voc perceber o ritmo da vida, o ritmo da
dualidade, o ritmo da polaridade, mais ir parar de pedir, de escolher.
Esse o segredo. Viva com este segredo e veja a beleza. Viva com este segredo e
subitamente voc ser surpreendido: como grande a bno da vida! Quanto
despejado sobre voc a cada momento!

Uma noite, um velho ndio falou ao seu neto sobre o combate que acontece dentro
das pessoas.
Ele disse:
A batalha entre os dois lobos que vivem dentro de todos ns. Um Mau. a
raiva, inveja, cime, tristeza, desgosto, cobia, arrogncia, pena de si mesmo,
culpa, ressentimento, inferioridade, mentiras, orgulho falso, superioridade e ego.
O outro Bom. alegria, fraternidade, paz, esperana, serenidade, humildade,
benevolncia, empatia, generosidade, verdade, compaixo e f.
O neto pensou nessa luta e perguntou ao av:
Qual lobo vence?
O velho ndio respondeu:
Aquele que voc alimenta!
Essa historinha muito simblica. Os dois lobos so as nossas emoes positivas e
negativas. Essas nossas emoes so causadas pela nossa forma de pensar,
portanto, o lobo que alimentamos uma escolha nossa. s vezes temos a
impresso que o mundo nos virou as costas e que todas as coisas ruins s
acontecem connosco, no entanto isso pode no ser uma verdade absoluta, mas
como ns entendemos os fatos. Se pensarmos que as pessoas so ruins e que
querem nos prejudicar, enxergaremos o mundo com essas lentes e provavelmente
encontraremos evidncias que reforcem essa ideia, mesmo que ela no seja
verdade. Essas ideias negativas nos proporcionaro emoes negativas de tristeza,
raiva, vingana . No entanto, mesmo tendo vivenciado algo ruim podemos

entender que foi um azar, ou que as pessoas que nos proporcionaram algum mal,
no o fizeram intencionalmente Se pensarmos assim estaremos flexibilizando
nossos pensamentos e alimentando o nosso lobo bom que nos trar emoes
positivas. Essa atitude nos proporcionar um crculo virtuoso. Pensar bem nos faz
sentir bem e agir bem. Que tal experimentar alimentar o lobo bom dentro de voc?

Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress
yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do,
maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try
to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the 'normal people' as they go
about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like 'Have
a nice day' and 'Weather's awful today, eh?', you yearn inside to say forbidden
things like 'Tell me something that makes you cry' or 'What do you think deja vu is
for?'. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in
the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking
the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on
conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes
into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the
others. -Timothy Leary
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. -Frederick Douglas
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time
and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something
separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature in its beauty. Albert Einstein

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One
day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly
and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little
test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's

take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you
made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
No," the man said, "actually I just heard about It."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try
the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my
student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even
though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, b ecause there is a third test - the
filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful
to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor
even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great
philosopher and held in such high esteem.
Um mestre do Oriente viu quando um escorpio estava se afogando e decidiu tir-lo
da gua, mas quando o fez, o escorpio o picou. Pela reao de dor, o mestre o
soltou e o animal caiu de novo na gua e
estava se afogando de novo. O mestre tentou tir-lo novamente e novamente o
animal o picou. Algum que estava observando se aproximou do mestre e lhe disse:
Desculpe-me, mas voc teimoso! No entende que todas s vezes que tentar
tir-lo da gua ele ir pic-lo?
O mestre respondeu:
A natureza do escorpio picar, e isto no vai mudar a minha, que ajudar.
Ento, com a ajuda de uma folha o mestre tirou o escorpio da gua e salvou sua
vida.
No mude sua natureza se algum te faz algum mal; apenas tome precaues.

What is commonly called falling in love is in most cases an intensification of

egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to
your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no

The more real you get the more unreal the world gets. -John Lennon
You are your word. And in your word, which is you, lies the power to create anything
you want in life. Anything.
Wherever you are having "problems" or "trouble" or "discomfort" in life, you can rest
assured that you're being inauthentic in some respect. This means you're
"pretending" something is true that isn't necessarily true, typically so that you "look
good" or avoid "looking bad" in some way. And as is typically the case when
problems arise, you're likely not honoring your word to others.
But looking good and avoiding looking bad will not get you anywhere in life. It might
seem to work for a while, but it's a house of cards that inevitably falls apart, and
more importantly, it can't and won't fulfill you. When you don't honor your word,
you aren't being the real you, and trying to be something other than what you are
can never fulfill you.
Honoring your word puts you in alignment with your true self, and along with that
comes access to your true power. If you do what you say you will do, and commit to
what you've said you commit to, and are authentic and honest with yourself and
those around you, you can create absolutely anything you can imagine.
But without authenticity, communication, and integrity, you will be like a leaf in the
wind, and you will lose the respect, trust, and support of others and yourself. If you
don't honor your word to yourself, then you won't respect yourself, plain and simple.
You won't expect yourself to follow through with anything, and as a result, never
will.
Do you have to always "keep" your word? No, that's impossible, Sometimes you
can't make good on promises or commitments. But you can always honor your
word. This means dealing with the repercussions of not keeping your word, and
contacting anyone involved ASAP to let them know you won't be keeping your word
as originally given, and making acceptable, alternative arrangements, i.e. making
amends and renewing your word on the matter.
You are your word, and if you live that way, you can do, achieve, obtain, or create
anything you can invent as a possibility.
