Today is a milestone for me; here is the heart of the day.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the wisest of the wise; his heart is so pure I had tears in my eyes. When he spoke his compassion is with out words. He is humble and sincere,. I cried when he gave me some advice.
He simple said, “No matter how hard ife becomes or how dark you may feel always remember two things. Love unconditionally yourself and all of humanity. The second is to breathe. Breathe love into yourself when you breathe in; when you breathe out breathe out love unto the world.”
He put his warm, strong, yet gentle hands onto my heart and said, “YES, Just like that.” He smiled again a big smile and said “Thank you for being here with me today.” I replied, “Your Holiness it is my deepest honor to serve you.” and thanked him for his wisdom and heart felt words.
He hugged me then went on stage to greet his audience, his speech and his words to me made me weep. At lunch he said “You have great love in your heart, the world needs more men with such love to give.” I bowed deeply and said “I serve humanity.”
Other then those personal moments with him the remainder of the day was small talk of events through out the day with his advisors, RCMP officers, K-9 handlers, security officers, audio/video production staff, and event staff.
The experience was so deep and powerful for me, not a single word can describe my day with his Holiness. I wish you all could feel what I feel right now! It is moments like these that make you take a long hard look within and see who and what you truly are.
Since the day I found out my Wife was having an online and long distance affair, I died inside in every manner of the way a heart can die from ultimate betrayal. Honestly, I had not liked myself in a very long time. My life fell to pieces, I could not accept where my life ended up in the last couple years. I had been unhappy and dissatisfied and became extremely bitter to myself and to those I have loved and cared for.
Over the last few months and especially as of today, I now look upon myself with hope and inspiration. It is amazing how the words of one man can have such a significant impact on me on every level. I wish love upon the world and will try my best to be the inspiration he shared with me today. I commit myself to loving everyone with respect and dignity. Finally I can be at peace with myself.
The thing is this... I realized no matter what others can/could/have done it was within I needed to tap into; I'm not gonna lie. I went down hard, harder then I ever fell in my life. I spent months analyzing my life; where it went, why it wasn't what I worked so hard to get to, I blamed everyone that blocked my ways to my goals. All this time it was me, myself, and I. With my poor attitude on how I viewed myself. I defeated myself with my own thoughts. Anyone who has had a lovd one betray you, I beg you to look within yourself and pull out all your strength of love and peace! Will it into your heart to fight off the negativity that forms after betrayal. Dare yourself to choose to be above the hurt and pain. Process it and reinforce yourself with Love and Light! Peace be with you all and may God shine upon you!
