Q. I am looking for some secrets as to how to reduce the "bags" under my eyes. Probably some more sleep and less stress would do it, but thats probably not going to happen anytime soon so instead I need an aide.


Answer
You need a sensitive skin anti-aging eye cream on the skin around the eyes; it being the most sensitive part of the skin throughout the body.

Also known as sleep masks, eye masks are used to block out all light around eyes in order to have a good sleep anytime of the day.

Both - an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream as well as cosmetic eye surgery - deal with the problem in a cosmetic way only and not at the level of providing beauty through health to the eye.

But there is another way that not only lifts-up the drooping eyelids, removes the excess eyelid skin along with the excess fat-tissue, removes dark under eye circles, and turns back the eyelids that have gone turned-in or turned-out; but also gets a total face-lift for you without going for an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream, or any surgical procedure!

The central fixation of the eye - the opening of the third eye!

How are compassion and non-violence central to Buddhism?

Answer
1. The practice of loving-kindness, compassion, altrustic joy and equanimity ("Brahma-vihara" or "four divine states of dwelling"/"Four Perfect Virtues) is essential to Buddhism.

According to the Buddhist method, training oneself comes first. Individual perfection must be first, so that the organic whole may be perfect. The state of the outer world is a reflection of our inner selves.
If a person cannot be right with himself, he cannot be right with others. A doctor without the required qualifications may try to help patients but he may do harm instead. Only an engineer who first perfects himself in his trade can produce perfect work because he has perfected his training first.

Buddhist cultivates such metta (loving kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (sympathetic joy) and upekkha (equanimity) through meditation. These four states inter-relate and support each other. Without such practices one not only tends to fail in social and personal relationships but is also at a great disadvantage when involved in spiritual practice.

In the words of the Buddha, Metta means a great deal more than loving-kindness, harmlessness (Ahimsa), sympathy. Metta is benevolence toward all beings, without discrimination or selfish attachment.
According to the Metta Sutta, a Buddhist should cultivate for all beings the same love a mother would feel for her child. This love does not discriminate between benevolent people and malicious people.
By practicing metta, a Buddhist overcomes anger, ill will, hatred and aversion.
It is a love in which"I" and "you" disappear, and where there is no possessor and nothing to possess. It is also useful to build up the required concentration base for the development of insight, because with metta, our mind concentrates rapidly.

Karuna refers to active sympathy and gentle affection, a willingness to bear the pain of others, and possibly pity.

Mudita is taking sympathetic or altruistic joy in the happiness of others. The cultivation of mudita is an antidote to envy and jealousy.

Upekkha is a mind in balance, free of discrimination and rooted in insight. This balance is not indifference, but active mindfulness. Because it is rooted in insight of anatman, it is not unbalanced by the passions of attraction and aversion.

2. In the discourse to Subha, the Buddha answers questions posed to him as to the reasons for long life and so forth. From the answers, we find that the kammic results that lead to long life, good health, beauty, following, wealth, noble birth can be attributed to acts connected with loving kindness, compassion and sympathetic joy.
If you treat the world properly, kindly, the world will treat you kindly. We should not expect other persons to treat us kindly first, but we should start by ourselves treating them kindly.

3. Loving kindness and equanimity are also part of PÄramitÄ or PÄramÄ« ( means "Perfect" or "Perfection"), refer to the perfection or culmination of certain virtues as a way of purification, purifying karma and helping the aspirant to live an unobstructed life, while reaching the goal of Enlightenment.

In the Pali Canon's Buddhavamsa the Ten Perfections (dasa pÄramiyo) are :

1. DÄna parami : generosity, giving of oneself
2. SÄ«la parami : virtue, morality, proper conduct
3. Nekkhamma parami : renunciation
4. PaÃ±Ã±Ä parami : transcendental wisdom, insight
5. Viriya (also spelt vīriya) parami : energy, diligence, vigour, effort
6. Khanti parami : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
7. Sacca parami : truthfulness, honesty
8. Adhiá¹­á¹­hÄna (adhitthana) parami : determination, resolution
9. MettÄ parami : loving-kindness
10. UpekkhÄ parami : equanimity, serenity.
