It is a paradox - the more I cling to my ego, the more isolated I become, cocooned in a shell of self-imposed ignorance.The recognition of evil is akin to peeling back layers of an onion, each layer revealing a pungent truth about my nature. With each layer, tears may fall - tears of regret, of understanding, and sometimes, of liberation. As I peel, I uncover the raw essence of my human...
AdontaiThe Seeds of the Mind: How Our Thoughts Shape Our Destiny
Once upon a time, there was a young monk named Tenzin who had just entered the monastery. He was eager to learn and absorb everything that was taught to him. He spent his days studying and practicing meditation, trying to understand the teachings of the Buddha. One day, his master called him to his chambers and said, "Tenzin, I want to teach you something important. Everything you do or say gets recorded in your mind.

Having battled with feelings of loneliness and depression for most of my life, I can relate to their struggle. "Sangha", a Sanskrit term indicating "community", holds significant meaning in my narrative.
In this modern era, despite phenomenal technological growth and the emergence of numerous social networks, we often find ourselves trapped in an antisocial world where narcissism and self-obsession take center stage.
As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. eloquently stated, "I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be."
This profound statement should serve as the guiding principle for our political, economic, personal, and spiritual endeavors. The inescapable truth is that we're all interconnected, and the only way to truly achieve peace on earth, along with environmental and economic sustainability, is by fostering intentional communities.
Dr. King referred to these as "beloved communities". The most effective remedy for the epidemic of loneliness and narcissism is, quite simply, compassion.
