Filling oneself with goodness



Think not lightly of good, saying,
"It will not come to me."
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the wise man,
gathering it little by little,
fills himself with good.

Incredible photos! And colours are so meditative...

This is a great quotation for me. I live on the hills and stay always alone. When I have to do my practices, I say later, later. There is nobody who do them with me and I abboundon them...
I have to remember that the drops fill the vase with time.

Most of the pictures in this blog is taken from my hometown in Taiping. It is famous for the Lake Gardens. I intend to include just photos from the Lake or just from Taiping in this blog unless there is a reason not to. Staying up the hill should be nice too. Reading your blogs entries, I tend to believe that you practise the dhamma.

I do think a person can practise dhamma in front of the PC. Just have good thoughts. And yes, from your blog, I also learn this, we can meditate with our eyes open.what do you think?

How lovely those photos!

And what beautiful lines.

I am still enjoying our world because I have always believed in the goodness of GOD and the kindness of my fellow human beings.

Cheers!
