Facts of life

Hi.

One day when talking to a friend in need Monkey said:
“Rain will always be rain, and it nourishes both flowers and weed.
A life without pain and suffering can never be complete. 
Sadness and pain can be an rich source for insight and strength.
Learn to live and prosper with those facts of life."

Putting things first

Hi.

One day when out walking, monkey spoke to one of the animals:
The trouble with Western Buddhism is that it puts intellectual studies and meditation first.The question is, where does that leave Saddha (faith), Dana (giving) and sila (ethics)?

You can't plan happiness

Hi.

One day when speaking to one of the animals, Monkey said:

“You can’t plan happiness in your life, just get ready to gratefully/gracefully accept it when it comes. Its not so dependent on what life gives you but rather how you manage to use what you get.”
