“The obstacles that can arise from both good and bad circumstances should never deter us or dominate us. We should be like the earth, which supports all living beings, without regard to distinctions of good or bad, favorable or unfavorable. The earth simply abides. When faced with difficult situations, a practitioner should use them as an opportunity to strengthen his practice, just as a strong wind, rather than extinguishing a bonfire, intensifies it and causes it to blaze even more brightly.”

Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche – The Shortcomings of Our Decadent Age – on Making the Practice Part of One’s Life - Collected Works Vol II p 190, Shambhala

There is so much scientific evidence and talk nowadays in the world of modern medicine, about how a stressed mind can harm the body’s immune system, which causes the body to become very susceptible to illness. This is not new news! This is something that has been continuously spoken about for millennia in the world of ancient natural medicine, and by yogis.

For as long as you experience samsara, your mind and your body have a symbiotic relationship. The mind is connected to your subtle energy system, that is found in, and connected to your physical body. And therefore a stressed mind will give rise to a harmful subtle energy that directly impacts the immune system, and other parts of the body.

A calm mind, however, cultivated through practicing the buddhadharma, will be literally medicine for your body.

And of course, for as long as you experience samsara, please also make healthy lifestyle choices, such as a nutritious diet and regular exercise, and anything else that works for you.

Your precious human rebirth is the only physical support that you have right now, that will support your mind’s path to its freedom from samsara. Look after it!

Actor Ethan Hawke was asked to speak about unrequited love, as Blue Moon, the film that earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination, centers heavily on the theme.

As Hawke often does, he left viewers stunned and inspired with his thoughtful, poetic answer in a now-viral clip.

According to Hawke, one needn’t feel as though they’ve lost anything when romantic feelings aren’t returned, because the act of feeling itself is the true gift of being alive.

“The one who’s in love always wins,” the Dead Poets Society star explained. “It doesn’t matter if you get your heart broken; you’re living. When you’re feeling, you’re alive.”

He added, “The sun doesn’t care whether the grass appreciates its rays, right? It just keeps on shining. That’s you.”

And to top it all off, when the interviewer, Amelia Dimoldenberg, said “I love you” in response to Hawke’s inspiring words, the actor didn’t skip a beat, replying, “I love you too,” with genuine affection. Watch the captivating clip and see some of our favorite reactions below.
