When Our Mind Is Calm, We’re Better

Whenever I Visit A Market And See The Chickens Crowded Together In Tiny Cages That Give Them No Room To Move Around And Spread Their Wings And The Fish Slowly Drowning In The Air, My Heart Goes Out To Them. People Have To Learn To Think About Animals In A Different Way, As Sentient Beings Who Love Life And Fear Death. I Urge Everyone Who Can To Adopt A Compassionate Vegetarian Diet.

A Calm Mind Helps Our Human Intelligence To Assess The Situation Realistically.

The Deep Root Of Failure In Our Lives Is To Think, 'oh How Useless And Powerless I Am.' It Is Essential To Think Strongly And Forcefully, 'i Can Do It,' Without Boasting Or Fretting.

For The Moment A Lot Of Attention Is Given To Economic Concerns, And These Problems At Hand Easily Eclipse All Others. But The Remedies Proposed For These Problems All Come Out Of Outmoded Ways Of Thinking... The Remedy? Compassion. The Logical Feeling That We Find In Ourselves If We Search Deeply Enough That Has To Be Exercised Toward All Other Living Creatures.

It Is Expressions Of Affection Rather Than Money And Power That Attract Real Friends.
