A Good Motivation Is What Is Needed:

My Main Hope Is Eventually, In Modern Education Field, Introduce Education About Warm-heartedness, Not Based On Religion, But Based On Common Experience And A Common Sort Of Sense, And Then Scientific Finding.

In Pluralistic, Democratic Societies, There Is The Freedom To Adopt The Religion Of Your Choice. This Is Good. This Lets Curious People Like You Run Around On The Loose!

Although You Can Find Certain Differences Among The Buddhist Philosophical Schools About How The Universe Came Into Being, The Basic Common Question Addressed Is How The Two Fundamental Principles-external Matter And Internal Mind Or Consciousness-although Distinct, Affect One Another. External Causes And Conditions Are Responsible For Certain Of Our Experiences Of Happiness And Suffering. Yet We Find That It Is Principally Our Own Feelings, Our Thoughts And Our Emotions, That Really Determine Whether We Are Going To Suffer Or Be Happy.

The Most Important Benefit Of Patience Consists In The Way It Acts As A Powerful Antidote To The Affliction Of Anger - The Greatest Threat To Our Inner Peace, And Therefore Our Happiness. The Mind, Or Spirit, Is Not Physical, It Cannot Be Touched Or Harmed Directly. Only Negative Thoughts And Emotions Can Harm It. Therefore, Only The Corresponding Positive Quality Can Protect It.

Within The Framework Of The Buddhist Path, Reflecting On Suffering Has Tremendous Importance Because -realizing The Nature Of Suffering, You Will Develop Greater Resolve To Put An End To The Causes Of Suffering And The Unwholesome Deeds Which Lead To Suffering. And It Will Increase Your Enthusiasm For Engaging In The Wholesome Actions And Deeds Which Lead To Happiness And Joy.
