Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are one

« I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These are your three greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you reconcile yourself with the meaning of the whole.
Compassionate with yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world. »

(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 67)

We are the Whole

Everyone suffers.
We suffer because of our attachment to things, ideas and material goods that have nothing to do with our true essence.

Only the awareness of the whole can give us true happiness.
Only the universal love that flows from it can give real peace of mind.

Everything you own is a burden, it is useful if you still live it with detachment.
All the money you have is an illusion of value, because nothing has more value than awareness and enlightenment.

In front of human wickedness, violence, hatred, anger, ignorance, desire, envy and every negative feeling and emotion that dwells within you and around you, look at yourself and at the world with detachment and compassion.

Watch with compassionate detachment that everything is impermanent: your home, your things, your enemy, hatred and your own suffering.

Spread love, understanding, joy, warmth and positive feelings to sow the power of a Buddha in every human soul.

So lose the attachment to harmful and unnecessary things for your journey to enlightenment of a Buddha.

Dino Olivieri

“Don’t seek the awareness because by doing so it escapes from you even further. The awareness is simple and natural life, is the spirit of a child playing and learning, it’s the thought that springs from the feeling that you try drinking a sip of cool water.”

“We are already what we are trying desperately.
We are everything, except be aware.”
