Great quotes can teach us all Life Lessons that mean so much.
We can find in them precious gems with a Wisdom touch.
8
Fools stray off into paths that lead them to pain, sorrow and dis-ease.
Wise ones follow The Middle Way that leads to Freedom, Pease and Bliss.
18
Be Happy
There is much Dhamma we can learn from those who are truly wise.
Without good spiritual guides, we falter despite many tries.
42
Mere book knowledge of the Dhamma would not give us Wisdom and Peace.
Dhamma Teachings must be actualized through constant Dhamma Practice.
43
Walk the Noble 8-Fold Path and root out all Craving.
You would then end all forms of Dukkha or Suffering.
64
May we all walk The Noble 8-Fold Path most ardently and diligently.
This is the Way for Liberation, to be free from Dukkha and misery.
65
Pleasant, unpleasant thoughts, happiness and sorrow arise from the mind.
The Wise Ones know that in life they must watch and train the mind all the time.
71
Craving, grasping, clinging and attaching will cause the ignorant sorrow and pain.
Until they uproot these defilements, they’ll spin in Samsara again and again.
78
When WISDOM Words are actualized mindfully, we will all live a life much more peacefully.
84
Walking ardently The Noble 8-Fold Path, there will come Wisdom.
Sila, Samadhi and Panna will lead us to Enlightenment.

100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons and 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 2
were published for free distribution in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The feedbacks for
these 2 Full Color books were very encouraging and this motivated me to come out
with the third volume 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 3 – in digital pdf format
because of the high cost of printing the book in full color.
As for the first two books, 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 3 has the following
objectives:
(i) To help convey very important Dhamma / LIFE Lessons teachings
(ii) To provide useful material for the spiritual practitioner to reflect and
contemplate upon in his quest for spiritual growth
(iii) To help one grow in loving-kindness, compassion, wisdom and peace.
Like the first two volumes, 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 3 makes use of
color pictures and images to capture the reader’s attention and render the Life
Lessons/Dhamma teachings more readable and easier to remember and digest.
Remembering and putting them into practice are very important for
Dhamma growth.
