Sonja-Maria Teufel-Schmarsli

In the South of Germany I am running a little hotel. I enjoy meeting and taking care of my guests and like to connect people who didnĀ“t know each other before for any possible project. I love writing poetry, painting and getting in contact with the unlimited abbundance of nature by observing, breathing and comtemplating. I search to keep things simple and somehow try to integrate all daily experiences into the Dharma. Sonja-Maria's website.

RULER OF YOUR VAST KINGDOM

Since the beginning of all time until the end of all time there lives a ruler of a vast kingdom between myriads of interstellar clouds and within each single sentient being. May this timeless king of ancient lineage born in the foam of a colorful- iridescent sea of arising stardust remember his royal descent. May he wake up to the holistic realization of his eternally pulsating universe of body, speech and mind within an ocean of nourishing light for the benefit of all living beings as there are as many as shooting stars in a meteor stream.

PLEASE, DEVELOP COMPASSION BOUNDLESSLY

Please, develop compassion boundlessly. This is what my teacher told me once in a private and intimate audience, please, my dear, develop loving kindness and compassion, not only ordinary restricted compassion, please, develop compassion boundlessly for each and every single being.

AUTUMN WALK

As I walk on, streams of clouds sedately roll past on a pale blue sky illuminated by a milky-white sun. I center deeply in my breathing as if to gently cradle the world in my arms. For a split of a moment it seems that my consciousness is ceasing the subtle motion in all elements.

FRIENDS

Friends are precious and rare, like jewels on a mystical island that you are sometimes searching for in your clear dreams. When you cry or feel sad and low out of the blue, friends cannot help but get up from their cushion and take you in their arms, to comfort you and make you feel shine again like sparkling rainbow lights.
