Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God

Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

All of these quotes from Jesus speak of one thing, an open heart to unconditional love of all beings, even your enemies

With love,

The Divinity Within the Homeless

You have been taught that the homeless are less than

But I’m here to say that they are just as divine as you and I

They are still born in the image of God’s love

They have Buddha nature within them

They are divine beings of the universe

Look within your heart and you will see this too

To cast judgment on them is cast judgment on the divine

Love your neighbor as thy self even if they are homeless

We are here to awaken to the oneness of all beings and show unconditional love to our brothers and sisters

Abandon Everything

Abandon everything

Abandon all greed, hatred and fear

Abandon selfishness

Abandon all attachments to temporary pleasures

Those who have the courage to abandon everything will be rewarded

Yet do not focus on any reward because this itself is self centered

Just focus on your breath and open your heart

Let unconditional love purify your heart and soul from within you

Prayer of Emptiness

May I empty myself to you God

So you can fill me with your divine love

May I empty myself of all self centered ideas

So you can fill me with your divine grace and humility

May I empty myself of all hatred, fear and greed

So you fill me with your infinite compassion

I empty myself to you God

I surrender to your unconditional love

Within Your Heart

Burn down all churches, temples and mosques

Burn down all holy books

But don’t burn down the human heart!

That’s where God is

The seed of true unconditional love is within us

This seed is patiently waiting to be watered but we must still our minds first

In stillness the holy spirit can transform us

But only if our heart is open to unconditional love
