Beside orchid flowers in the FGS Dong Zen CNY lantern and flora festival, there are so many different types of other plant and flowers.
There are not competing with each others but as a totality to enhance the beautiful environment.
We feel so happy when we see the beautiful combination of plants and flowers.
However, in life some of us love to compete or compare with each others, especially on the material wealth.
If somebody get a new car, we might tend to buy a new car too….
If somebody get a new house, we must buy a new house or BIGGER houses…
If there is a new fashion trend, we must be the 1st one to have it…..
Where is the freedom, liberation and peace in life?
According to Buddha Teaching, The biggest wealth in life is CONTENTMENT.
“If we are spiritually rich and fulfilled, we will be happy, even if materialistically our life is basic and simple.”
by Master Cheng Yen
No need to compare with others, just be yourself.
Learn from the flowers and plant.

I love your post and the fantastic photos! I love flowers so much! Have a great day!
Thank you! Have a beautiful day! Cheers!
Your posts always are so inspirational, and I enjoy every one! The same teaching about contentment also is found in Christianity. Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? … And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For …your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Great! Let’s share our great love to all beings. May you be Well and happy! Cheers!
