Each moment is just what it is, it may be the only moment of our life.  We could get depressed about it or we could appreciate it and delight in the preciousness of that moment.  We learn to appreciate every single moment of our life by constant practice.

We can all benefit from living according to seasonal circumstances.  Whether it’s the time or the method, living is half initiative and half knowing how to let things proceed on their own according to the times.  Do seasonal things rather than trying to go against them.

Embrace all things, accept everything, extend your goodwill in every direction or you can deny everything, recognizing that everything you see is an illusion.  Both paths lead to the spontaneous awareness of the harmonious oneness, then all you must do is participate in it.

The family is society in embryo.  It is where performance of moral duty is made easy through natural affection and this is later widened to include all human relationships.  What the family does in the practice of moral conduct is what is reflected in society. 

Quote: Attract light not to thwart the darkness, but to illuminate your path.
