My Religion Is Kindness.

Whether One Is Rich Or Poor, Educated Or Illiterate, Religious Or Nonbelieving, Man Or Woman, Black, White, Or Brown, We Are All The Same. Physically, Emotionally, And Mentally, We Are All Equal. We All Share Basic Needs For Food, Shelter, Safety, And Love. We All Aspire To Happiness And We All Shun Suffering. Each Of Us Has Hopes, Worries, Fears, And Dreams. Each Of Us Wants The Best For Our Family And Loved Ones. We All Experience Pain When We Suffer Loss And Joy When We Achieve What We Seek. On This Fundamental Level, Religion, Ethnicity, Culture, And Language Make No Difference.

Be Gentle With The Earth.

Just As Rust, Which Arose From The Iron Itself, Wears Out The Iron, Likewise, Performing An Action Without Examination Would Destroy Us By Projecting Us Into A Negative State Of Existence.

Self-discipline, Although Difficult, And Not Always Easy While Combating Negative Emotions, Should Be A Defensive Measure. At Least We Will Be Able To Prevent The Advent Of Negative Conduct Dominated By Negative Emotion. That Is 'shila', Or Moral Ethics. Once We Develop This By Familiarizing Ourselves With It, Along With Mindfulness And Conscientiousness, Eventually That Pattern And Way Of Life Will Become A Part Of Our Own Life.

We Have A Largely Materialistic Lifestyle Characterized By A Materialistic Culture. However, This Only Provides Us With Temporary, Sensory Satisfaction, Whereas Long-term Satisfaction Is Based Not On The Senses But On The Mind. That’s Where Real Tranquility Is To Be Found. And Peace Of Mind Turns Out To Be A Significant Factor In Our Physical Health Too.
