Don't Try To Use What You Learn From Buddhism To Be A Buddhist; Use It To Be A Better Whatever-you-al Ready-are.

People Often Expect The Other Person To Respond First In A Positive Way, Instead Of Taking The Initiative To Create That Possibility. I Feel That's Wrong; It Can Act As A Barrier That Just Promotes A Feeling Of Isolation From Others. To Overcome Feelings Of Isolation And Loneliness, Your Underlying Attitude Makes A Tremendous Difference - Approaching Others With The Thought Of Compassion In Your Mind Is The Best Way.

A Loving Atmosphere In Your Home Is The Foundation For Your Life.

Treat Each Person As You Would An Old Friend.
