Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Soren KierkegaardDanish philosopher (1813 - 1855)
I was chatting with a very nice person the other day when he was giving me an example of how to lead our life.
He spoke about Kyodo Archery - From what I understood it was a form of mediation the Buddist practiced by using archery as a tool to reach there. Through practice of archery he was able to achieve inner peace. He also spoke about a book titled "One arrow, One Life".
One has to live the life to its fullest and do the right thing all the time. When you have a bow and an arrow, the moment the arrow leaves your bow, you have no control over it. Life it like that - Concentrate and do the best at any given moment. Once that moment has passed you are not going to get it back. So.... friends: Do the right thing always and be at peace every second of your life.
