The journey to peace and happiness is a process of letting go of attachments.  To do this, open your heart up and surrender to life, but we cannot do this on certain occasions or situations, our surrender must be constant and genuine all the time.

We all want to be daring, creative, original, and do things in new ways, but unless we return over and over again to the basics and remember our roots, we cannot truly soar.  Without this thorough grounding we cannot be creative and never issue forth with true power.

Respond to things in the appropriate way; if asked, answer appropriately.  A good word can rationalize a selfish act, and a good deed can sometimes serve as a mask for living extravagantly from the misery of others.  Therefore, all words and deeds must come from your heart, no motives.

What has been spoiled by man’s fault can be made good through man’s work.  Once we know the causes of decay, we must not recoil from working diligently on them even if it is difficult. We must work tirelessly towards improving conditions in the world.

Quote: It does not require many words to speak the truth.
