"一念嗔心如火，燒盡累劫功德之林
一念人我是非， 積聚善念付水漂流"
"One thought of hatred can start a fire to burn forests of merits.
One thought of malice can cause a flood to wash away our good names."
- Venerable Master Hsing Yun
Apparently the ordinary individuals do not celebrate their birthdays, except at the New Year days, that are regarded also as the birthdays of all ordinary people in the far-east traditions and cultures of China, Japan etc.. Am I right?
I wish fruitful and happy lives for ordinary people and Aryas!
svaha "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
