The Surroundings

“There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.” 
― Mooji

“Connect with your inner self. A beautiful sanctuary exists within you. A place of total calm. A connection to stillness. A temple of sacredness, peace, beauty, love. Once you are truly at this infinite inner place, your true home, you will be at home anywhere, at anytime, with anyone. A place where INFINITE possibility exists.” 
― Angie Karan Krezos

People around Moeyungyi, Myanmar

Around Moeyungyi, there are people who work on the field harvesting rice and tending buffaloes. There are women who share with us little fruit from their lunch. There are women who work long hours to extract silk out of lotus stems for weaving. (How many lotus stems would be needed to weave a scarve?) We wish them well for their future!

Quanh khu Moeyungyi có những người làm trên đồng gặt hái, chăn trâu. Có những người phụ nữ chia xẻ cho chúng tôi ít trái táo nhỏ từ bữa trưa của họ. Có những người phụ nữ làm suốt ngày se tơ từ cọng sen để mang đi dệt. (Bao nhiêu cọng sen thì dệt được một chiếc khăn quàng cổ?) Chúng tôi chúc họ một tương lai tươi sáng!
