Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Be diligently in your spiritual path. You can overcome any challenges in life!
When you are facing danger/ challenges moment in life, how do you react?
e.g., an accident, natural disaster……
Are you panic?
You can notice the changes of your body and mind if you are mindfulness.
The signal:
Stress, tension, sweating, fast heart beating, shaking, fear, can’t breathe, confuse, “lost”……
Recently, I went to an old building and I am facing an issue in the car park as the drive way was so small.
I parked my car at level 6, it was a challenge to drive out.
I am stuck either up or down on the going down lane and my car sensor kept giving signal that I might hit the wall….
At this moment, my mind kept thinking on the worst scenerio….
“I might hit the wall & fall down from 6th floor……”
“I might scratch my car.”
“I might block other users……
I am not sure whether do you face the same experience before…
In this critical moment, I am blessed that I used to chant daily, automatically I chant the name of
“Avalokiteshvara Bodhisatvva” (Guan Yin), the great compassion teacher.
When we are in chanting, our mind is at now, no future and past thought.
As such, My mind in total peace and calm.
I am mindfulness and No disturbance from negative, past or future thought.
I can easily drove my car out from the car park without any challenges.
This is a great lesson in life, we must be calm and peace whenever we face any challenging moment.
If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person’s attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation.
By Tenzin Gyatso
Besides, we must be diligently in spiritual path as we can immediately be at now.
May you be diligently in spiritual path!
In a road crash better to be relaxed before impact which reduces the harm done to the body. Flight and fight response is a natural response to any anxious moment, it is the response of all animals, but they are moving with energy efficient muscles, sharpness of focus and attention. Humanity is a mental mess in challenging moments of stress.
So true… be relax and calm. Cheers!
The Picture is really beautiful.. and the thought too..

So much easier said than done particularly if you are being stalked.
Take a try… Experience it! Cheers!
I am a nervous passenger in a car due to surviving three difference crashes as a passenger in prior years. I use chanting to help me calm and relax and it helps a lot
Excellence! Cheers!
It is a good idea to relax and be calm but it is hard to remember to do that when faced with an unexpected stress. I must try some chants next time.
yup… Take a try! Cheers!
It pays to be cool and collected. Easy to say but hard to do sometimes as our bodily reaction depends on a certain stimulus and situation. Thanks for coming to like my post.
Hi! Be diligently in your practice. We can react well when we are facing any challenges. Cheers!
