A Buddhist new year message

Posted on 02/01/2020 by Dr Bob Rich

I have several delightful friends in Thailand. They all have three-breaths-long names, and pronounceable short versions. Molly is one of them. She is a high level educational expert. This morning, she sent me a link to an inspiring statement from the top Buddhist monk in Thailand. You need to put up with the Thai English, but it’s worth it: the content is inspiring. Take it to heart, and you will improve your life, and that of everyone you are in contact with.

Here he is with another inspiring leader:

About Dr Bob Rich

I am a professional grandfather. My main motivation is to transform society to create a sustainable world in which my grandchildren and their grandchildren in perpetuity can have a life, and a life worth living. This means reversing environmental idiocy that's now threatening us with extinction, and replacing culture of greed and conflict with one of compassion and cooperation.

Hello Dr Bob Rich,

Thank you very much for emailing me on 28 December 2019 the following:

This is a Non-Christmas Card
for You
May EVERY DAY
of your year be:
full of MEANING and PURPOSE
CONTENTMENT and JOY
BEAUTY and HARMONY.
Every day is special. Cherish it, treat it as if it might be
the last day of this life for you.
So, why am I sending this card NOW?
Because lots of people intend kindness by sending me
Christmas cards, and it’d be rude not to reply.
Because it is as good a time as any.
With best wishes, now and always,
Bob Rich

I am delighted that you have been thinking of me, and would like to wish you all the best in your endeavours in 2020 as you make your new resolutions!

  Thank you, “Sound Eagle.” I was amused at the winter, European theme of your Christmas message. Not many snowflakes in Australia at the moment!
  With metta,
  Bob
