We are different from each other; our ideas of social etiquette are different from culture to culture.  Rather than criticize each others’ ways or fight over our differences be curious and strive to understand the other.  Doing this we can achieve peace and harmony in the world.

All facts you receive must be thoroughly examined and then you can apply distinctions that agree with the truth.  In the same way, we are compelled to examine the ongoing circumstances of our lives.  Doing this is part of our responsibility of being human.

Neither become obsessed with circumstances nor forgo awareness of them.  Let go of all conflict and strife, practice unswerving kindness and unending patience.  Give whatever you can without restraint, you then become one with the receiver and both become the giver.

Being still when its time to be still and going forward when it is time to go forward, that way rest and movement agree, this will help you quiet your heart.  When you become calm, then you can turn to the outside world, as you no longer see the struggle and tumult of individuals.

Quote: Peace comes with total inner surrender to what is.
