When we train, even though we have noble intentions, we are not given any promises that all will be okay.  Instead, simply look deeply at joy and sorrow, hoping and fearing, laughter and crying, at all that lives and dies.  We learn that which truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.

Being self-sufficient is not the same as being isolated, you will have problems if you don’t engage fully with life.  If you withdraw into yourself, your life will become stagnate. When you flow with life, you will be one with all things and will avoid stagnation and decay.

Your spirit energy is always with you, and you can use it in any way you want, it is inexhaustible.  It is the infinite gateway to mysteries within mysteries.  If you attempt to fix a picture of spirit in your mind you will lose it.  Why not be content with simply experiencing it?

When the good elements of a society are in control, the evil elements come under their influence and change for the better.  When the good spirit rules in man, his original pure nature also comes under the influence and takes its appropriate place.

Quote: If light is in your heart, you will find your way home.
