Great Changes Start With Individuals; The Basis

As Our Own Peace Of Mind Grows, So The Atmosphere Around Us Becomes More Peaceful.

Under The Bright Sun, Many Of Us Are Gathered Together With Different Languages, Different Styles Of Dress, Even Different Faiths. However, All Of Us Are The Same In Being Humans, And We All Uniquely Have The Thought Of 'i' And We're All The Same In Wanting Happiness And In Wanting To Avoid Suffering.

When We Speak Of A Calm State Of Mind Or Peace Of Mind, We Shouldn't Confuse That With An Insensitive State Of Apathy. Having A Calm Or Peaceful State Of Mind Doesn't Mean Being Spaced Out Or Completely Empty. Peace Of Mind Or A Calm State Of Mind Is Rooted In Affection And Compassion And Is Sensitive And Responsive To Others.

Compassion Is One Of The Principal Things That Make Our Lives Meaningful. It Is The Source Of All Lasting Happiness And Joy.

It Is... Very Helpful To Think Of Adversity Not So Much As A Threat To Our Peace Of Mind But Rather As The Very Means By Which Patience Is Attained.
