Cultivating a flowerbed

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

“Just like cultivating a flowerbed is the cultivating of the practices of ethics, meditation and wisdom. 

The more you practice, cultivate it, the stronger it becomes.”

Aprreciate what you have

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

”There is an old story about a man who ran from his shadow and finally fell down exhausted. 
The same goes with life. 
No matter how hard you pursue pleasure and success there are times when you will fail, no matter how fast you run, 

Sometimes you will stumble. 
It is much better to appreciate and value what you have here, now, and build around that than always live on the run.”
