LEARNING IS LIFE

Here are the first 13 divine merits that have been narrated in couplets.  1. Fearlessness No fear inside, a quiet soul, Clean thoughts 'n feelings make us whole. 2. Piousness No evils within, mind is free, Purity arises for all to see 3. Steadfastness Learn deep and sit, with steady mind, strive, go on, leave all thought behind. 4. Charity To share what's yours, a willing grace, Be generous, bring smile to every face 5. Self restraint Senses held back, a patient wait, no reactions to seal a kinder fate. 6. Responsibility Do what is right, with all your might. Be proactive with keen foresight. 7. Contemplative self-study In quiet thought, the holy words we see, And looking inward, se...

 Little, deliberate designs referred to as "tangles" are created one stroke at a time, transforming a blank page into an eye-catching mosaic. Zentangles are typically small, made on 3.5-inch square pieces of paper with black ink. The greatest aspect of this art is that there are no mistakes in the making. If a line veers off or isn’t perfectly straight, you don’t erase it. Instead, you accept it and turn that little wiggle into a fresh part of your design. Because of this, anyone can do it—you don’t need any special drawing talent; it just sets you free. Google (2026) search with AI prompt 'dr lalit kishore educator on zentangle art' reveals the though Kishore is primarily known for his work in science education, alternative pedagogy, and special education, he has integrated Zentangle and doodle art into his therapeutic and creative writing frameworks to promote emotional catharsis, mindfulness, and multiple intelligence development.His work with Zentangle spans sever...

  Arc of the Divine: The Rainbow's Sacred Vedic Path  A spiritual poem   A celestial bow, a vibrant arc appears, Indradhanush, a sign from heavens high. The deity of rain, dispelling fears, A bridge to worlds where spirits softly lie.   Sun's golden warmth, with waters from above, A gentle dance, a harmony profound. The universe's balance, sung with love, Where earth and sky in unity are found.   Its seven hues, a path for us to climb, Each color bright, a chakra's gentle glow. From root to crown, transcending earthly time, To higher thought, where pure awareness grows.   So see the bow, a sacred, mystic sign, Connecting soul to realms that are divine. Citation 1 Kishore (n.d.) pairs a 5-7-5 syllable poem, hiaku, with a visual to capture a contemplative moment of nature and emphasize concise imagery to reflect on the beauty of a rainbow against the sky.

  Valour Beyond Mind and Senses: Conquering Yourself (Couplets dedicated to Lord Mahavira) The mind we see, a fleeting view, Pure mind, nature, deeds anew. What we know, far from pure, This gap, confusion's lure. Restless mind, senses' slave, Lost in desires, a life they crave. Conquering senses, true might, This valour, life's bright light.

  Saga Dawa: Holy Buddhist Month Poem Saga Dawa, a time so bright, Good deeds grow, in holy light. A kind word, a helping hand, Returns many-fold, across the land. Open hearts, with love to share, Generous spirit, everywhere. Compassion flows, a gentle stream, Awakening life, a joyful dream. Life is short, like morning dew, Remember this, for me and you. Buddha's steps, a guiding star, To peace and freedom, near and far.

A photo story is a way to communicate using a series of pictures to show ideas, feelings or outcomes during interactions or a sequence of events. It uses very little text, just short captions, and lets viewers understand the reality, event, or story in their own way. The visual story depends on a planned order of specific and purposeful snapshots to tell the story smoothly. Some examples of intentional shots are: Establishing Shot: A wide photo that shows the scene, introduces the place, and reveals who or what the story is about. Medium Shot: A closer view that focuses on the main action or subject, removing any distracting background. Portrait or Close-up Shot: Detailed shots that create a close emotional bond with the subjects. Detail Shot: Very close images of certain objects that add depth, mystery, or completeness to the overall story. Skilled storytelling photographers arrange these images — usually between 4 to 12 photos — in a logical order, like chronological steps, with shor...
