Nothing Is Permanent.

It Does Not Matter Whether You Are A Theist Or Atheist, What Matters Is Sincerity, Forgiveness, And Compassion.

It May Seem Unrealistic To Think We Can Ever Become Free From Hatred, But Buddhists Have Systematic Methods For Gradually Developing A Tolerance Powerful Enough To Give Such Freedom.

When We Are Motivated By Compassion And Wisdom, The Results Of Our Actions Benefit Everyone, Not Just Our Individual Selves.

We Must Have A Pure, Honest, And Warm-hearted Motivation, And On Top Of That, Determination, Optimism, Hope, And The Ability Not To Be Discouraged. The Whole Of Humanity Depends On This Motivation.

Like The Lotus Which Thrives In Mud, The Potential For Realization Grows In The Rich Soil Of Everyday Life
