The need for compromises

Be the change you want others to be! Chitkala Mulye Too often, we expect others to adopt to us. Of course, in any interaction, both have to adopt to the other in a certain way and accept compromises, because only in this way, we can connect to the other person and really care. It might

The reason why we are NEVER alone

The most important thing is – really – to know that you are not alone! Rabbi David Kraus: Wahrnehmung. Breslev Deutsch, 3 December 2018. (translation mine) Yet, we often do not realize it. We think that no one cares and we do not see those who are with us. And even if, God forbid, we

Stop carrying all the negativity with you!

How often do we run after things that are absolutely negative? Or even worse: We don’t run after things, we carry these negative things with us!  […] Stop carrying them with you.

名句

其实，犹太教与佛教只是以两种不同的方式教授同一个道理。佛教徒认识“无我”的意思。犹太教也有 “无我”的想法。身体只是外在的东西，而被称为“我”的东西是通过灵魂揭示出来的。但是由于我们一直在变化，没有永远的“我”，只有永远的灵魂。所以今天的“我”不是明天的“我”，但我知道“我”存在，所以灵魂要存在。通过灵魂显示出来的“我”仍然很灵活。如果我知道“我”总是在改变，我想知道谁才是真实的“我”。我可能找到我没有出于自己的“我”，让“我”分开。希伯来语中叫 bitul。 Timo Schmitz: 佛教与犹太教的智慧联合. 德国: Buddha TS Publishing, 2022年

Timo Schmitz: “Long time no see” (2013)

I haven’t seen you for so long – missing, Your seat is empty today – missing, And you are far away – still missing. And when I remember you just now, I’m not afraid of your eyes, I could never take a vow, My hope never dies. Look, you are pretty, so what? You always

Timo Schmitz: “Confession to myself” (2013)

Tomorrow is the last day to see you for a long time, I think I guessed right, you won’t be mine, You have passed my way, without a word, But you can’t destruct my heart with your sword. I know what you think of me, please don’t play, I have an anchor, I will go
