Natural and man-made disasters originate in the collective karma. To banish them, we must first purge our bad karma.
Physical and mental illnesses originate in defilement. To banish them, we must first purify our bodies and minds.

Joyful giving, like sowing seeds, produces a rich harvest.
Greed, like pulling rice out by the root, deprives us of a decent harvest.

While Buddhist medical theories acknowledge and treat the devastating effects of physical diseases, they regard diseases of the mind as the most destructive to health and happiness.
All of these diseases are caused by our rigid attachment - to an idea, belief, person, appearance, possession, emotion, status, or experience - to anything at all. If we can understand the true meaning of detachment and the true nature of emptiness and treat all illness with this awareness, we will then have the perfect miracle medicine to remove the roots of disease.
Use the Dharma to heal your mind, and the path of true health will open up for you.

Sutra of the Medicine Buddha with an Introduction, Comments and Prayers -
Thousand-Arms Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.
Ancient story describes that Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva is a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of all sentient beings and vowed never stop freeing and saving all that struggle.
His many heads allow him to see more and his thousand arms allow him to save more suffering beings who need his aid.

Good morning! Auspicious blessings to you all.
Generosity leads to wealth.
Stinginess leads to poverty.

How to live
Have we ever reflected on how we conduct our everyday lives? It is essential to have some form of planning for our conduct. We need to plan ahead on household activities and other daily matters. These activities, properly planned, can be more effectively and efficiently completed.
Conditions in life are unpredictable, ever-changing, and impermanent in nature. The presence of one event is often matched by the absence of its parallel event; the opposite conditions of suffering and happiness, to have and have not, favorable and unfavorable circumstances, success and failure, and gain and loss are some examples. How should we conduct ourselves in handling the changing conditions in life?
There are four guiding principles:
1. Accept the reality of changing circumstances with an unperturbed and peaceful mind.
2. Adjust our living according to circumstances.
3. Cultivate a mind free from worry and delusion.
4. Carry out duties and responsibilities with joy.
