Peace and Tranquility

Byodo-In Gardens, Kaneohe, Hawaii

Buddhist sayings for Peace:

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on them."

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

"Hatred never ends by hatred, but only by love..."

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."

This cheerful face can only spread joy and harmony.
These figures and their teachings are too absent from the mainstream media. They are not profitable enough.
Thank you for reminding us of them through this simple photo, William.

Sadly for the mainstream media -- peace and tranquility are too boring while violence and war make for exciting stories. Their perspective is likely hopelessly warped. :(

Hence the imperative, which our younger generations are not immune to, of greater discernment in the face of the fake news that is disseminated every day. ..
I believe in their heightened awareness; and social media, which some dream of transforming into a medium of absolute conditioning, fortunately remains (today) a means of emancipation and resistance.

Beautifully composed and taken William.........and the detail is excellent.

I like the quotes for peace in your narrative, but I feel that no one is listening :-(

I like also these sayings of Buddha: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” and “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding".
