Notice your opinions.  If you are aggressive about your opinions, notice that; if you are nonaggressive, notice that.  By cultivating a mind that does not grasp at right and wrong, you will find a fresh state of being.  The ultimate cessation of suffering comes from that.

As long as we continue to learn, welcome new ideas, find new ways of doing things and continually expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, then we are engaging in the ultimate creativity of ourselves.  This continuing act of creativity keeps us young.

There is a powerful force that exists that is always available to you.  When clarity and purity are cultivated, it reveals itself.  When sincerity is unconditional, it unveils itself.  If you are willing to live by it, you will see it everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.

If a species in nature dominates others, the resulting imbalance destroys habitats for all.  The same situation occurs when one person or group tries to use power over others.  Learning to live a balanced life, while taking others into consideration, means walking a path of modesty and integrity.

Quote: Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
