What you would use to extinguish a stake? Water or more fire?
Thus, it is only love that can extinguish hatred.
(Dino Olivieri)

Do not dwell in the past.
Do not dream of the future.
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.

The only true love is the joy of generous giving retreating in silence, without desire, nor expectations.
Who will empty his own joys giving them all, will be fullfilled by a renewed and glowing happiness.
Although it may seem absurd, this is the law of the Whole.
Those who remain full of himself, barricaded in the barrier of the self, is like a bowl full of food that goes bad slowly in a dark, inaccessible cave.
Not a single new drop of golden honey may be added.
Never again will still enjoy its sweet taste.

Money is a cancer.
It grows, devours us, as a metastasis.
Now completely detached from the value of life and its useful things, money is flooding in every body and mind with its putrid mud.
As in ancient religions, every moment, we sacrifice to this god evil our good food, clean air, drinking water, our lives, the lives of our children, and love and all the joy of our hearts.
In return for this wicked huge sacrifice, we receive back a handful of his useless black cancer that spews his desperate hatred in the world.

A beautiful girl in the village was pregnant. Her angry parents demanded to know who was the father. At first resistant to confess, the anxious and embarrassed girl finally pointed to Hakuin, the Zen master whom everyone previously revered for living such a pure life. When the outraged parents confronted Hakuin with their daughter’s accusation, he simply replied “Is that so?”

When the child was born, the parents brought it to the Hakuin, who now was viewed as a pariah by the whole village. They demanded that he take care of the child since it was his responsibility. “Is that so?” Hakuin said calmly as he accepted the child.

For many months he took very good care of the child until the daughter could no longer withstand the lie she had told. She confessed that the real father was a young man in the village whom she had tried to protect. The parents immediately went to Hakuin to see if he would return the baby. With profuse apologies they explained what had happened. “Is that so?” Hakuin said as he handed them the child.
