Monday manifestation series :Manifestation Magic: Creating Your Ideal Life Together

By
  Welcome to the second series of the Monday Manifest Series! It's wonderful to have you here as we continue our journey of co-creating and manifesting our dreams. In this series, we will dive deeper into the practice of manifestation and explore the power of making manifesting a collective experience. Manifestation is not just an individual endeavor; it becomes even more powerful when we come together as a community, supporting and inspiring one another along the way. By joining forces, we amplify our manifestation energy and create a space where dreams become reality. Today, I invite you to join me in harnessing the power of collective manifestation. Take a moment to reflect on the dreams and desires you have been manifesting in your own life. What are the intentions and goals you are working towards? What visions do you hold in your heart? Now, let's take this journey of manifestation together. In the comments section below, I encourage you to share what you are currently...

 Lord buddha's birthday is celebrated on the days 26th of month of may.


It is a special and a holy day for Buddhists and celebrated grandly in most of Asian countries, including china, Burma, nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka etc. There is a special story regarding this holy day. It is the story of prince siddhartha Gauthama which is obviously fascinating. A link will be shared at the end of this post about prince siddhartha (lord budha).

Festival vesak(lord buddha's birthday and his enlightenment )  is celebrated grandly. 

Here, in sri lanka, you can see that every street would be decorated with fairy lights, lanterns hanging from each and every tree, big pandols created with glowing lights which convey an ancient morality stories with pictures, craft exhibitions related to vesak lanterns stage dramas performed on every main road and oil lamps ligted everywhere. Gas lanterns are sent to the sky .



At night people would storm down the streets to watch these splendid decorations and the big lanterns which are kept in exhibition on sides of the road. Some People get together and sponsor for free food for everybody who passes by the streets. These type of free distribution would be throughout the streets. Some may distribute ice cream while some may do drinks, like wise their would be lots of food varities. You can help yourself as much as you want. Nobody would say anything. It is really fun to stay in queue and get free icecream. Many people, rich or poor would participate. Theres no cast and creed considered to engage in these activities. Either you are rich or you are poor, it doesnt matter which religion your coming from, you can participate and share happiness and enjoy this day. Everybody is treated equally.



Not only the roads, all the house are decorated too. Decorative lights would hang down from the roof and balconies. Handmade lanterns made by children would be hanging in roof. Trees filled with bulbs and lanterns buckets. Oil lamps lit all around the garden.


 
People go to temple to worship.

It gives cozy and inspiring vibes to watch these. I love this beautiful day. 

Unfortunately, we could not celebrate vesak this time due to the pendamic. Safety comes first. People storming on the streets at a time like this is definitely not a good idea. Thats a reason because the government had summoned for a lockdown these days throughout the island. 

Hope everything would be hundred percent fine for next years vesak.

Until that wear mask, stay home and stay safe.

THANK YOU FOR READING.

Too much freedom?

By
Having your own freedom is fun. No rules and regulations. You may decide that " My car, my petrol, my life" . If you are a fun type of person You could spend most of your time partying, hanging out with friends, eating restaurant food etc. Simply, because nobody is there to put any boundaries. About one and half year ago, I met a friend of mine. I always wished if I had the freedom just like she had. Always assumed that she was so lucky.  But this time I was surprised that she didn't look happy at all. She was always a fun person. I asked her about the situation.  The reply was reasonable enough for her unhappiness.  She said that she have misused her freedom. After college, she just spent money on unwanted things and partying a lot. Comparing to other friends, she haven't achieved anything in life. Haven't done any investments.  Most interesting thing she told me was,  "you guys are lucky"  I grimaced. I always used to think that she was lucky. ...

You call it Attitude, I call it self respect!

By
 It is hard to handle people nowadays.  The person today is not the person you see tomorrow. People change! But still, you have to go your journey.  It is hard to muster the fact that EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARILY. The people who loved you the most might hate you tomorrow,  your best friend might be someone else's best friend some day, yesterday they cared, today they don't! Sometimes Even your lover would do the same thing no matter how much they loved you. Even your shadow leaves you in the dark. This is life. Still, life goes on and on. You might need answers for these? I know that it is a unbearable pain if somebody leaves you from your life. Here's is an advice, If somebody ignored you, just don't care about them anymore. Just leave everything in God's hand and don't go behind anyone begging to stay in your life. This is not ATTITUDE. This is called SELF RESPECT. Always keep in mind, You are not the person who's gonna miss them. They are the ones who is ...

When do you feel the most creative

By
As a blogger, I have few experience on the writing platform. I say few, because there is lot to learn in future. Learning never ends till we die. Writing was my hobby from childhood.  Creativity is essential for writing as you need to come out with good ideas. This is not a task which only good authors, poets or bloggers can do. Even you can! Everybody in this world has their own creativity in their own way. The thing is you should know how to reach it.  For some, there are certain times when they come out with quality ideas.  A time which inspires them. For certain people ideas emerge suddenly and forget it as quick as it emerged. That is why you should always jot down your ideas then and there. I personally experienced this a lot. Even when I was writing this post, the idea was sudden. I didnt hesitate to write it down then and there although I had several works left behind. Here are some times when I feel the most creative.   Midnight Midnight is a...

Faith depends on thoughts.

By
 Feelings of faith depends upon the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind. If you have confident thoughts, faith thought, success thought, these very thoughts will bring about the same conditions. If you harbour unhappy thoughts, failure thoughts, these you will see in your life. Basil king once said " they conquer who beleive the can," Faith is absolute power. The true mark of any successful man was the degree of faith he had in himself of his ability to attain success. Faith is the one seed that requires no watering for germination. It requires only the pressing forth of intense belief. Captain Eddie Rickenbecker, one of the leading heroes of the generation , was a man of inspired and demonstrated faith. Faith was the key of his life. He asserted, " think positively and masterfully with confidence and faith. Life will become more secure, more fraught with actions richer in achievement and experience. This is the sure way to win worry over ...
