As we train in opening our hearts, discovering the soft spot, we feel more joy, the joy that comes from appreciation of our basic goodness. We do this by being present, training in mindfulness and unconditional friendliness, having patience and letting the process evolve naturally.
Flowers can make you smile, their beauty is delicate and you cannot alter their nature. Their tenderness arouses feelings of mercy, compassion and understanding. They are fragile, ephemeral and uncompromising. Take the time to appreciate their beauty in the midst of temporality.
To cleanse oneself of contaminations, such as anger or self-absorption, practice undiscriminating virtue. To practice virtue, give without limitations, without prejudice and without expectations. If your willingness to give is limited, so is your ability to receive.
We must respond to changes and explore the most suitable way to deal with them. Responding only to isolated changes merely leads to little success. By responding to all changes appropriately and within the whole process, success will be achieved.
