Aquel que con buenas acciones
Vence los males que una vez ha hecho,
Ilumina este mundo
Al igual que la luna que se libera de las nubes.
- Buda

***

One who by good deeds
Overpowers the evils one has done,
Illuminates this world
Like the moon freed from clouds.
— Buddha

Change is never painful
Only resistance to change is painful
Buddha

The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world..*

Until he has unconditional and unbiased love for all beings, man will not find peace. – Buddha

Hasta que no se tenga amor incondicional e imparcial hacia todos los seres,
el hombre no encontrará paz.

- Buda

sin duda uno de mis preferidos ..

Ni tu peor enemigo puede hacerte tanto daño
Como tus propios pensamientos, sin vigilancia.
Pero una vez dominados,
Nadie puede ayudarte tanto,
Ni siquiera tu padre o tu madre.
- Buda

Your worst enemy cannot harm you
As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered,
No one can help you as much,
Not even your father or your mother.
— Buddha

arte de TOMURA Shigeki（戸村 茂樹 Japanese, b.1951）

Debajo de la pintura una inscripción escrita en mandarín:
"Este es el único y verdadero retrato de un Buda Sakyamuni durante su vida."
Se supone que fue dibujado por el Ven. Punna, uno de los diez primeros discípulos del Buda. El Bendito tenia 41 años de edad cuando fue pintado. Hoy en día la colección enel Museo Británico, es considerada un tesoro nacional británico! Los británicos "adquirieron" este tesoro, como lo hicieron con tantos otros tesoros, durante la época colonial en la India y nunca me lo devolvieron.

It was supposed to have been drawn by Ven. Punna, one of the original ten disciples of the Buddha. The Blessed One was 41-years-old when it was painted. Today the collection in the British Museum, is considered a British national treasure! The British "acquired" this treasure, as they did so many other treasures, during the colonial period in India and have never returned

"Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not help lead you to Nirvana." ~ Buddha

"Mucha gente tiene una idea romántica de la iluminación. Para muchos de nosotros, se ve como un estado sobrehumano. Realmente, no es sobrehumano en absoluto. Para ser el Buda, uno es totalmente auténtica en el Ahora, cualquiera que sea la forma que trata. Cuando un Buda se siente triste, simplemente se sienten tristes, cuando están enojados, están enojados. La única diferencia entre una persona normal y un Buda, es que el Buda no tiene miedo de ser humano. Ellos no tienen un diálogo interno del momento presente, ellos van simplemente junto con él ".

“Many people have a romantic idea of enlightenment. To many of us, it looks like a superhuman state. Really, it’s not superhuman at all. To be the Buddha, one is completely authentic in the Now, whatever shape it comes in. When a Buddha feels sad, they simply feel sad, when they are angry, they are angry. The only difference between an average person and a Buddha, is that the Buddha is not afraid to be human. They do not hold an internal dialogue of the Present Moment, they simply go along with it.”
