Most people measure money by time. They believe that by working more hours they make more money.
Not a chance.
And it’s a perspective that’s hard to overcome. I’m telling you though, that the quality of your life depends on you overhauling your mind on this very important matter.

Great sayings by Albert Einstein
5 Sep 2009
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former
- In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
- Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
- I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
- Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.
- If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
- True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
- Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
- Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
- Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
- Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
- Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
- Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
- The only source of knowledge is experience.
- I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.
- The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
- Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
- No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
- Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
- One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion
- It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
- It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
- The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
- It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
- I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
- Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
- A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
- Imagination is more important than knowledge.
- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
- I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
- A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
- I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
- Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
- The environment is everything that isn't me.
- I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
- If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
- I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
- Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
- A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
හෙලයන්ගෙ අලි මිනිස් සහජිවනය
4 Sep 2009
අපි බොහො වෙලාවට අද අහන්නෙ අලි මිනිස් ගටුම් ගන. නමුත් හෙලයනුත් අලිත් මෙම බිමෙ කාලන්තරයක් එකට සහජීවනයෙන් ජීවත් වෙලා තියෙනව. අපිව ත්රගයකට දුවවන්න සුද්ද පුරුදු කරවන්න කලින් පොඩි පොඩි ගටුම් නොවුන නෙමේ. අපි එව්ව විද දරගත්තෙත් හරිම සුන්දර විදියට.
Namo Thassa...... - Rhythmic chanting clip
3 Sep 2009
I frequently visit buddhist cultural center located at Nedimala, Dehiwala. I was fascinated by the cerenity of the environment and the light backgound music and chantings. I recently found that the same chanting is played on their web site. I managed to download the audio clip and thought of sharing with all of you. Listen and see the serenity that it will bring into your mind.
The audio clip is shared here.....
You may also listen to this rhythmic chanting on line by visiting web site of buddhist cultural center of Sri Lanka.
