If You Serve Others As Fully As You Can, What You Do Will Be A Source Of Inner Joy.

...there Is An Intense Delight In Abandoning Faulty States Of Mind And In Cultivating Helpful Ones In Meditation.

It Seems That For Some People The Idea Of Compassion Entails A Complete Disregard For Or Even A Sacrifice Of Their Own Interests. This Is Not The Case. In Fact, You First Of All Have To Have A Wish To Be Happy Yourself - If You Don't Love Yourself Like That, How Can You Love Others?

Now You Are On The Buddhist Way. Keep Up Your Meditation, As There Is No Instant Illumination. The Mind Moves Slowly Into This. Do Not Become Attached To Your Method. When, In The Course Of Your Meditation, Your Consciousness Will Have Expanded And Been Transformed, You Will Then Recognize That All The Ways Are Valid Ways.

All Suffering Is Caused By Ignorance. People Inflict Pain On Others In The Selfish Pursuit Of Their Happiness Or Satisfaction.
