Smile If You Want A Smile From

Everyone Wants A Happy Life Without Difficulties Or Suffering. We Create Many Of The Problems We Face. No One Intentionally Creates Problems, But We Tend To Be Slaves To Powerful Emotions Like Anger, Hatred And Attachment That Are Based On Misconceived Projections About People And Things. We Need To Find Ways Of Reducing These Emotions By Eliminating The Ignorance That Underlies Them And Applying Opposing Forces.

One Of The Most Effective Ways To Overcome Anxiety Is To Try To Shift The Focus Of Attention Away From Self And Toward Others.

In The Buddha's Life Story We See The Three Stages Of Practice: Morality Comes First, Then Concentrated Meditation, And Then Wisdom. And We See That The Path Takes Time.

Love And Compassion ... Are The Ultimate Source Of Human Happiness, And The Need For Them Lies At The Very Core Of Our Being.

We Must Work To Resolve Conflicts In A Spirit Of Reconciliation And Always Keep In Mind The Interests Of Others. We Cannot Destroy Our Neighours! We Cannot Ignore Their Interests!
