Let things that enter your life wake you up.  To do this be open, be curious, accept everything that comes along and let it teach you what it will.  You can try to do everything to make your world perfect, but the old stuff always appears, until you have learned your lesson.

Our faith is not our parent or protector; it is here only to inspire us to be better people.  Whether we choose belief or defiance, what is precious is that we are able to choose.  Spirituality is only great when it allows the utmost freedom to follow it.

Passion and desire weaves a binding net around you.  Worldly confrontation and the trap of duality makes you stiff and inflexible.  Through self cultivation, living naturally, and working virtuously will free you from those entrapments.

Before helping others, one must store up one’s own knowledge, strength, and virtue.  On the other hand, to help each other, people must be sincere and truthful.  The ancients taught working together with one heart and one mind will ensure success.

Quote: Contentment cannot be held in the hand but lives perpetually in the heart.
