Quotes and Journal From My Facebook Since Awakening


"Buddha" in Sankrit literally means the awakened one. Here, to be awakened means his mind was fully awakened in the form of great compassion and wisdom - a wisdom about the true nature of reality and a compassion that encompasses all living beings. It is these qualities that are referred to here in the word Buddha - to be awakened.

I have actually stopped myself from receiving any helps from anyone but someone has awakened me today. We need a benefactor to help us achieving our dreams. I thought of that way because I didn't want to owe anyone anything but the true is receiving is actually giving too. Maybe the benefactor needs my help or skill to achieve his/her target too. It's a win win situation. Then I realise and I accept.

This is truly miracle and inspiring! Don't know why I have these "unexplainable" thoughts all these years. I know we are "related" and will be united under one God but I thought this is just my believe. Never knew that this video revealved and answered all my "abstract" belief. Moreover, I was told about my future this morning. God is showing me something Dato' and I think it's time and I am ready to dedicate it whole heatedly. 
(I used the term God because I was not realized yet) 


We are one from the very beginning and we will unite back as one very soon!

Life is actually a circle. Whatever you have encountered before, you'll encounter it again and it does not stop but continues to return when you reach back that circle.

If you really see within your sight, feel within your heart and think within your mind, you will see more things, more things around you that have not been discovered yet.



The same circle can be both good and bad. If we ignore it, it will return after a period a time when you reach back the full circle. If good, then it's great. If bad, then we must face and solve it properly before it return.

If good, we must grab it because it won't be that great as time is passing by and we are getting older. If we miss again, we need to wait for another round and sometimes can be too late because life is temporary.

             Do you believe in past lives or cause and effect? Your present life is the effect of your past life. Your present life is the cause of your next life and your next life is the effect of your present life.

With a focus mind practicing from meditation, you can help creating world peace by lessening sufferings among people. Let's unite and meditate.

Everything happens for a reason. You will know it when you understand the fundamental and origin of existing in this world.

Each of us is unique and has a purpose to be brought into this world. What is your purpose of life?

Punishment is not the best solution of everything but compassion, love and encouragement are.

Forgive, forgave and be forgiven. It starts from forgiving yourself before forgiving others.

We will go through different stages in our lives. The stages will be in a circle form. Once we have passed every stage, we will be back to the basic where we came from.

Stop sharing and spreading bad news and negativities that pollute our mind, heart and soul. Help to share and spread good news to help this world a better world. Appreciate it very much. P E A C E 

·          I've learnt that what we have and posses from the outside is just something surface and temporary. What we really have and posses comes from inside which is permanent.

Do good deeds. Speak good words. Think good thoughts.
Life is just about doing, speaking and thinking all the good and wonderful things in the world. Nothing more than these.

It's okay to feel lost or down sometimes as it's part of our lives. Just accept it and grab the moment to reflect deeply and meditate on how to improve in our lives that matters. Never give up.  

Now I know the true meaning of charity. Nothing is greater than be part of the goal to free all beings from sufferings and to reach universal peace. Admire the effort, time and determination of all the organizers and the participants. Life is truly wonderful. 
P E A C E 

The basic of giving is forgiving. The basic of forgiving is forgiving ourselves.

What we can see is just something surface. What we really live comes from within.


·     I'm going to continue my path no matter what. Ain't no mountain can't be climbed. Ain't no sea can't be crossed. Ain't no problem can't be solved. I'm going to finish, finish strong, steadily and calmly. This I promise to myself.

Helping people in needs is my passion and responsibility. P E A C E

         There's a fine line between LOVE and COMPASSION. Love comes from feeling; compassion comes from wisdom. Love is impermance but compassion permanence.

    Now I know the true meaning of charity. Nothing is greater than be part of the goal to free all beings from sufferings and to reach universal peace. Admire the effort, time and determination of all the organizers and the participants. Life is truly wonderful.  
       
         The basic of giving is forgiving. The basic of forgiving is forgiving ourselves.
            The three most POISONOUS things in our lives are greed, anger and ignorance.

Let it flow by itself as it is destiny to be. There's no use rushing. Time will decide when it is right. Be patience.


We are living in the world of cause and effect (Karma). First, learn to accept that the sufferings that we are facing now were the effects of our actions in the past. Then, seek for forgiveness and learn to let go. Lastly, do deeds and merits. With these, sufferings from all beings will be stopped and universal peace will be created. 

The 3 Learnings as according to Buddhism:
Discipline, Concentration and Wisdom
Discipline cures vice. Concentration cures confusion. Wisdom cures foolishness.

 Why people can't just let go and stop thinking about the past? Why they want to keep trapping themselves in this stressful and suffering lives? Why can't they just accept, forgive themselves and move on to be a better people as present is more important? Stop complaining, blaming and giving excuses! We should be thankful that we are given chance. Find solution is the only answer for now and not others!

·  We are the creator of our own world. If we live in hell, it's because we create hell within us. If we live in heaven, it's because we create heaven within us. No one else except ourselves.

In life, whatever we own regardless relationship, achievements and materials are impermanence and changing frequently. Being too attached with them will only result of never ending sufferings. 

If I know I have only 3 years left, I would live my life by the fullest and appreciate every little thing that I have surround me. I achieve that by setting very specific SMART goals, plan in details and take massive actions accordingly without looking back and I know I would achieve all my goals within 3 years. Why? Because I know I only have limited time, so I grab every opportunity possible and ultilize my time wisely without wasting any of them.

Life is actually filled with trials and errors. It is meant to test our patience and understanding of the message appears along our path. Just remember to remain positive no matter what as the result will be seen when the time is right.

We don't get everything that we give in return. The right way is to give without expecting anything in return.


We don't have to struggle too much to achieve something. The right way is to put enough effort and time to achieve something that we want. It is achievable when the time is right. Patience and persistency are what we need.

What we experience from the outside is the result of what we think within. If we think peace, we experience peace. If we think war, we experience war. It's just as simple as that and nothing more.



In Buddhism, love is based wisdom. This is called compassion.
