What is Happening in Bali?

The customs of each country is very unique. As you learn more some traditions endear you and some traditions really surprise you.

Important for your pets

Dear friends, This is truly an important article to read for the healthy lives of our pets. It certainly was an eye opener for me. We would often think that feeding our pets with supposedly “human food” would slowly poison them or will make them sick, but it seems like there’s an explanation to contradict that. It...

Rescued Cats and Dogs Only

What some face in one day!

Dear friends, Empathy and compassion can only arise when we realize the sufferings of another being.  When we comprehend how others suffer. To understand that we all can be hungry, beaten, abused, hated, despised, thirsty and starved and feel the pain bonds us as one. One what you may ask. One whole is the...

Blog Chat Etiquette

Be friendly

Remember that these are real people you are chatting with. They may have different opinions to you and come from different cultures. Treat them as you would face to face, and respect their opinions, and they will treat you the same.

Be Patient

Give the room a chance to answer you. Patience is a virtue. And if after awhile, people don't respond, perhaps they don't know the answer or they did not see your question. Do ask again or address someone directly. Do not be offended if people do not or are unable to respond to you.

Be polite

Avoid the use of language or attitudes which may be offensive to others. If someone is disrespectful to you, ignore them instead of arguing with them.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche
