Love The You You Really Are.

Here is yet another  gem from the Buddha:

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of  your love than yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.You,yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserves your love".

How strange, you may say.I thought we should be ignoring our self, having no ego, and here you are saying I've got to love my ego!This is surely contradictory?
It would, at first sight, appear to be,but you are not meant to love your ego,as why love something that is not real, and is only an illusion?.No, the love is to be directed to your true self-the one that is hidden under the cloak of the ego

The Dalai Lama teaches a simple but highly powerful exercise,that if done on a regular basis can change your life.All you have to do is the following:

1.As you breathe in -cherish yourself.

2,As you breathe out- cherish all beings.

 "We can never make peace in the outer World, unless we make peace within ourselves".Dalai Lama

"The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your action will be" Dalai Lama.
"If you focus only on yourself and neglect others you will lose, but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself."Dalai Lama.  Article by Mike Selley.
