A Clear Vision
Once, in China, there lived a Dharma teacher named Master Foin. He had a friend named Su Dongpo (1037–1101 AD), a poet with a bad reputation due to his rough and quarrelsome character.
One day, the poet sat down, pretending to be Buddha. He asked the Dharma teacher:
— Who do I look like?
— You look like Buddha, — replied Master Foin.
The poet then said:
— Do you know who you look like? You look like a pile of dung!
This did not disturb the Dharma teacher in the slightest. He kept smiling. Losing courage, the poet asked:
— How come you didn’t get angry?
The monk replied:
— He who has realized the Buddha nature in himself sees the same Buddha nature in everyone. But one who is full of dung sees everyone else as a pile of dung.

The Red Rose 🌹
An American sailor received letters from a woman he had never seen. Her name was Rosa. They corresponded for three years. By reading her letters and replying, he realized that he could no longer live without them. They had fallen in love with each other without even realizing it. 💌❤️
When his service ended, they arranged to meet at the Central Station at five o'clock in the evening. She wrote that she would have a red rose in her lapel. 🌹
The sailor wondered: he had never seen a photo of Rosa. He didn't know how old she was, whether she was beautiful or plain, thin or heavy. 🤔
He arrived at the station, and when the clock struck five, she appeared. A woman with a red rose in her lapel. She was about sixty years old. The sailor could have turned around and left, but he didn't. This woman had written to him all that time while he was at sea, sent him Christmas gifts, and supported him. She didn’t deserve that. So he approached her, extended his hand, and introduced himself. 👋
The woman told him that he was mistaken. Rosa was standing behind him. He turned around and saw her. She was the same age as him, beautiful. The elderly lady explained that Rosa had asked her to put the flower in her lapel. If the sailor had turned around and left, it would have been the end. But if he had approached the elderly lady, she would have shown him the real Rosa and told him the truth. 💔💐

Parable of the cup of patience ⏳
Once upon a time, there was a sage to whom people came every day with complaints. One spoke of poverty, another of injustice, the third of envy. The sage silently listened to everyone, saying nothing.
One day, the disciple could not bear it any longer:
— Master, why do you never give advice? People come for help!
The sage filled a cup with water to the brim and said:
— Carry it through the whole city and don't spill a single drop.
The disciple returned, not once diverting his attention.
— What did you see on the way? — asked the sage.
— Nothing. I kept all my attention on the cup.
— This is how people are: as long as the cup of their soul is full of worries, they won't hear a single piece of advice. First, you need to empty the excess in order to take in the new.😯

Parable of the Farmer and Luck 👨🏻🌾
There was an old farmer. His horse ran away. The neighbors said:
— What a disaster!
He replied:
— We'll see.
The next day, the horse returned, bringing three wild horses with it.
The neighbors said:
— What a blessing!
— We'll see, — replied the farmer.
The son tried to tame one of the wild horses, fell, and broke his leg.
The neighbors said:
— What a misfortune!
— We'll see, — replied the farmer.
A week later, soldiers came to take the young men to war — but they didn't take the son.
The neighbors said:
— How lucky you are!
— We'll see, — said the farmer.
Moral: Never be quick to judge what happens. Sometimes behind a "misfortune" lies a gift from fate.🍀

What is the most important thing to develop within yourself?
One day, a traveler came to a teacher. He sat down at the table across from the teacher and silently watched him reading a book.
— What do you want? — asked the old man.
The guest hesitantly replied:
— Oh, Great Teacher! I have traveled for many months to meet you here and ask just one question: "What is the most important thing to develop in oneself first?"
— I don't know, but it seems to me that it is the brain, — the teacher smiled and answered.
— Great Teacher, why "the brain"? What do you mean? — the guest asked in surprise.
— First of all, don’t call me great, — said the old man. — And secondly, if you thought with your brain, not with your feet, you wouldn't have walked for so many weeks. You would have written a letter.

How to Master Meditation?
If you want to master meditation, keep in mind that your goal is to stop the continuous inner monologue. This is not easy to do: even when we aim to "not think," we usually manage to stay in that state for no more than 1-2 seconds. After that, a thought emerges: "Oh, I'm not thinking about anything! Or am I...?"
Just like with any exercise, mastering meditation follows a clear step-by-step "instruction": do this, then that, then this. Therefore, when choosing where and with whom to meditate (and at first, it’s important to have a teacher—this doesn't necessarily have to be one-on-one; group classes work too), pay attention to how the teacher describes these steps, and ensure everything is clear to you.
With regular practice, headaches should gradually lessen, or at least the episodes should occur less frequently.
For beginners, meditation classes should be structured as clearly and understandably as possible:
- What and how we do the exercises,
- Where we focus our attention,
- How we monitor feedback (whether we’re doing the exercise right or wrong).
With regular practice, headaches should gradually subside, or at least the episodes should become less frequent. This will be one of the key indicators of your practice's success.

How to Understand If Your Relationship Has a Future
Serious relationships are a marathon, not a sprint. Some couples start with intense passion but over time the spark fades. Others move "slowly but surely" and stay together for decades or even their whole lives. Interestingly, these couples have something in common.
Your relationship definitely has a chance if:
1. You can laugh at yourself and each other
“To clarify: this doesn’t mean cruel or condescending jokes aimed at feeling superior. Such jokes damage relationships. It’s about not taking yourself too seriously and being able to kindly laugh at quirks—yours or your partner's. For example, jokes about your partner’s favorite movie, past mistakes, or selfish actions,” explains psychologist Ryan Hovess.
2. You find ways to express love in the little things
"Sex is easy, but showing love every day is much harder. There are many ways to show your partner how much you care and appreciate them. Every little gesture counts—like making coffee for them in the morning or reminding them how much you value their hard work. If partners consistently show care for each other, that’s a strong sign that the relationship has a bright future," says family therapist Kurt Smith.
3. You agree on important matters
"For a relationship to last, it’s crucial that the core values of the partners align. Research shows that the closer your views on issues like religion, money, children, and parenting, the more likely you are to stay together for life. It’s better to discuss these important life values early in the relationship since they’re unlikely to change much later on," suggests Carl Pillemer, professor at Cornell University.
4. You are tolerant of each other
"Even when your partner lets you down or behaves poorly (e.g., being late for your birthday), you assume there are reasons behind it and they didn’t act out of malice. Instead of blaming, you explain how their actions made you feel and suggest ways to prevent it in the future. If your partner keeps being late, you learn to accept it. After all, you chose this person," reminds sexologist Celeste Hirschman.
5. You don’t keep score on who owes whom
"Ideally, partners love and care for each other without expecting anything in return. They share their love 'freely,' with expressing emotions being its own reward. But that’s not always the case. In many couples, partners do nice things for each other expecting something in return, like, 'I washed the dishes five times last week!' or 'You met your friends five times, and I only met mine once!' Instead of keeping score, why not simply agree on a solution that works for both? For example, 'We both hate washing dishes, let’s take turns: I’ll do it one week, you’ll do it the next,'" suggests Ryan Hovess.
6. You don’t avoid problems but face them together
"In healthy relationships, partners don’t put off solving problems. Challenges are a part of life, and they shouldn't be seen as something bad that must be avoided at all costs. Often, facing difficulties together brings partners closer and strengthens their bond. It takes courage to deal with problems, but the reward will be a stronger and more reliable relationship," believes Kurt Smith.
7. You take responsibility for your mistakes
"It’s important that each partner takes responsibility for their actions and their consequences. If you did something wrong because you were upset or worried, it’s crucial to admit your mistake and explain yourself. For example: 'Sometimes when I’m upset, I tend to pursue you relentlessly. I understand how exhausting that can be for you.' Your partner could respond: 'Yeah, it’s hard sometimes. I tend to 'shut down' at times. I can see how that might scare you.' When partners are willing to take responsibility for their behavior, their relationship has a promising future," says sexologist Daniella Harel.

"The archer draws his bow only when it is needed, and loosens the string when it is not. For if the bow were constantly drawn, it would break. The same is true of human nature: if a person were always to devote himself to serious matters, without allowing any leisure or jokes, he would either gradually fall into madness or immediately be struck by paralysis."
