Comments Buddha taught us to be kind and loving towards other living beings. Living beings are animals, humans, insects and plants. So we can't eat anyone to be loving towards living beings. There is no food because anything called food is part of the body of a living being. So all we can do is spend time with living beings making them feel loved and wanted by feeling them nicely and chatting nice words to them. There is no food because everyone is a person and no one is made to be food. At the moment, there are a large variety of people on our planet. It is time to live harmoniously with every being on this planet. Don't burn or cook anyone. This includes all plants and all animals.

Right Speech (Samma Vaca) is speaking truthfully, avoiding gossip, harsh words, and idle chatter. Examples of wrong speech is sharing info about others that is unkind or untrue, speaking negatively about a person who is not present, arguing with someone or teasing someone, focusing on the negative aspects of life and expressing dissatisfaction, distorting the truth or creating a false impression, using harmful words like cursing the other person or describing the other person using a harsh swear word or using swear words, talking for the sake of talking without any purpose or depth and involving oneself in casual conversations where it is hard to understand the point of the conversation and where the conversation is going. Speech are thoughts spoken out loud. The right thoughts lead to the right behaviour. How to have the right thoughts? First thought that you should have proceeding all other thoughts is 'I will not harm any living being'. When you see an insect, think, 'I will not harm any living being' and don't harm the insect you see. When you see a human being, think, 'I will not harm any living being' then think of how to be kind to the human being.

I made my bed for attractive bed. I brushed my teeth for clean breath and clean teeth. I washed my face for clean clear skin. I had a shower for clean skin. I oiled my body for moisturised skin. I put on deodorant and body spray for great smelling skin. I cleaned the bathroom. I emptied the bins so that they don't overflow. I watered the flowers in the gardens so that they can start growing beautiful flowers. I drank two table spoons of extra virgin olive oil. The benefits are as follows: Drinking extra virgin olive oil supports healthier hair and skin due to its rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its hydrating and emollient qualities. These benefits are primarily attributed to compounds like oleocanthal, vitamin E, and squalene, which help reduce inflammation, moisturize skin, and improves skin elasticity. Here's a more detailed look at the potential benefits: Hair: Boosted Hair Growth: Olive oil's antioxidants, including oleocanthal, have anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce inflammation-related hair loss, potentially leading to healthier hair growth. Moisturization and Shine: Olive oil can help to moisturize and nourish hair, potentially improving its shine and manageability. Skin: Moisturization: Olive oil's natural emollient properties can help hydrate and soften skin, making it particularly beneficial for dry or compromised skin. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: Oleocanthal in olive oil can help soothe inflammation, which may be beneficial for conditions like eczema, rosacea, and acne. Vitamin E and other antioxidants can protect skin from damage caused by free radicals. Improved Skin Elasticity: Squalene in olive oil helps stimulate collagen production, potentially improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Wound Healing: Olive oil's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can contribute to wound healing. Protection from UV Damage: Olive oil's antioxidant properties can help protect skin from the oxidizing effects of sunlight. I had lunch. I washed the dishes after lunch. What I have learnt from Buddha's teachings Today, I wish to reflect on the second practice of the noble eightfold path which is Right Thought. Right thought is nurturing positive and healthy thoughts, free from greed, hatred, and delusion. Right thoughts are not saying that I hate other people. Instead of hating people, try saying that I love other people and that I will be kind to other people instead. Then think of ways to be kind and loving to the people, you thought you hated. I will take more of anything when I am already feeling satisfied, e.g., thinking of overeating food and overdrinking drinks I believe something that is not true and that I have no supporting evidence for and then thinking of acting on the thoughts. For example, thinking that someone is guilty of hurting you without any evidence. Even if they are guilty, right thoughts are not hating them for hurting you but loving them and being kind and loving to them instead. You are more beautiful when you are kind and loving to those who hurt you in the past.

There are eight practices that lead to the liberation from suffering. Today we will focus on the first practice, namely, Right Understanding. It's about seeing things as they truly are, having the right understanding of reality and not being ignorant or misconceived.

It is hard to say no when a friend asks you for help. It is wrong to say no. Help your friend. Everyone is your friend. Help anyone who needs help. That is a good Samaritan helping the man left wounded on the street after being beaten up or a rich man giving all he has to help the poor survive. Both scenarios leads you to heaven because you are at peace with yourself. You have helped. Ask and you will receive. Knock and and the door will be opened to you. Seek and you will find. Always give to people what people ask you for. It makes them happy to receive what they asked for. It is also polite to give to people who ask you for things and it is also good will too. When someone knocks on the door or rings the bell, open the door. It makes the person outside happy that you opened the door to them. 😊 Look for whatever you are looking for and you will find it. Don't give up. Keep looking for it. You might even find an exact copy of what you have lost.

I emptied the bins.

I cleaned the bathroom. I emptied the bins and changed the bin liners. I watered the plants. Comments When people are horrible towards you, don't cry. Don't get angry. Don't feel bad. Instead love the person being mean to you. Think words like 'they are amazing people. They are excellent people. I am an amazing excellent person' and think that a person's lies about you can ever stop you feeling good about yourself. Have a really high self-esteem forever. Love yourself and put yourself first so that no one can hurt you. By doing this, you are being kind to yourself.
