Betelgeuse largest single thing in Universe

If we poured in balls the size of earth at the rate of 100 per second, we would not fill it in 30,000 years!

Towards serving the entire world...

"The obligation of a Sramanerika, a novice nun, is to bend her back and offer it as a stepping stone for those traveling from darkness to enlightenment.

 

And once she becomes a Bhiksuni, a nun, she will stop loving only a few people and start loving all the living beings, and she will also move from serving only her family towards serving the entire world

."

 

~Master Cheng Yen

Accepting things of this world pass away.

Renunciation is not getting rid of the things of this world, but accepting that they pass away.-Aitken Roshi
