Speak quietly and kindly and be not forward with either opinions or
advice.
If you talk too much this will make you deaf to what others
say
and
you should know that there are few so wise that they cannot learn
from
others.
Despite all appearances, no one is really evil. They are led astray by
ignorance.
If you ponder this truth always you will offer more light
rather than blame and condemnation. You no less than other beings have
budding nature within.
You essential mind is pure. Therefore, when
defilements cause you to stumble and fall.
Let not remorse nor dark
foreboding cast you down.
Be of good cheer and with this understanding
summon strength and walk on.
Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn
bright.
Carry this lamp always and in good times the darkness will
yield
and you will abide in the light.
Be near when help is needed but far when praise and thanks offered.
Take small account of might, wealth and fame; for they soon pass and
forgotten.
Instead nature love within you and strive to be friend to
all.
Truly compassion is a balm for many wounds.
Treasure silent when you
find
it and while been mindful of your duties set time aside to be alone with
yourself. Cast off pretence and self deception. See yourself as you really
are.
