Fundamental richness is available in each moment, all you have to do is relax.  Relax when the phone rings, relax looking at the clouds in the sky, relax all the time.  A focused relaxation practice enables us to see the simplicity in the way things are, just be there directly.

If you have stress and frustration in your life, then you must be content with yourself to face your problems bravely until you can do nothing other than renounce them.  Sometimes the best you can do is remember that your stress is not absolute reality.

To cleanse oneself of contaminations such as anger, resistance 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.

Be equanimous and agreeable when you deal with others, when performing service be respectful and serious, be thorough and precise in activity, be careful and prudent in your speech.  Although manners and conduct are not self-cultivation, do not slight them.

Quote: If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble.
