Tolerance Is An Important Virtue Of Bodhisattvas

No Matter What Part Of The World We Come From, We Are All Basically The Same Human Beings. We All Seek Happiness And Try To Avoid Suffering. We Have The Same Basic Human Needs And Concerns. All Of Us Human Beings Want Freedom And The Right To Determine Our Own Destiny As Individuals And As Peoples. That Is Human Nature.

Religious Belief Is Not A Precondition Either Of Ethical Conduct Or Of Happiness.

In Our Daily Life A Certain Way Of Thinking Makes Us Happy, And A Certain Way Of Thinking Makes Us Unhappy. In Other Words, There Are Certain States Of Mind Which Bring Us Problems, And They Can Be Removed.

Human Satisfaction Must Ultimately Come From Within Oneself.

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.
