KindnessCures Supports "KIVA"

"Drunken Monkey"
Necklace

A common Buddhist image of the mind is of a monkey swinging from branch to branch, from smell to sight, from mental remorse to emotional rehearsal. More vividly they say the mind is like a drunken monkey stung by a bee.
 Quieting your mind is like calming your breath.
Your not trying to make anything happen. Your job is to just breath and observe. Tibetan Buddhists suggest watching your thoughts the way an old person in a park watches children at play. Notice what you notice but not becoming attached. Your thoughts are not necessarily you.

Wearing this necklace reminds you of how peaceful, stilling the mind can be.

"Heart Temple"
Bracelet

The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.

There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

"Courage"

True Courage does not mean to fight ones battles, to bully one another, nor to defend ones false ego. True courage and integrity is to be able to face each day truthfully and respect  those who give back,  without taking advantage of their kindness.  When you can wake each day and feel proud of who you are because you have treated people with respect and honesty,  then you can wear your medal of courage gracefully.

The center  "Green Heart " bead is there to remind us to open our hearts. It is wrapped in our unconditional love, and respect for all living things. The sterling charm is your medal of courage. 

$22.00

"Clarity"

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.  Copper can stimulate the flow of energy and hence move mental energies thereby, helping the wearer overcome lethargic tendencies. Copper also has powers of encouraging communication, increasing self-esteem and freeing the wearer of mental burdens.

"Insider"

Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

W.W.B.D.

What would Buddha Do? 

The Buddha wakes up and goes to bed every day with the same view. Even if we woke him up in the middle of the night, his view would still be the same. This isn't because he is stubborn or opinionated; it's because his view is based on certainty in the reality of basic goodness, rather than on certainty in the concept of "me".

"Makahiki"

Makahiki is a celebration of peace and prosperity in Hawaiian. Moving through our life with the steady vigilance of a tiger, we no longer feel the need to prove ourselves, because we know the truth of our own peace.
