-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The true value of a Buddhist manifests itself
in their 'behaviour'.*
People understand and empathise
People understand and empathise
with what we believe in and talk about
through seeing our actual actions and attitude
such as when we are courteous and speak politely
such as when we are courteous and speak politely
and with honest caring words.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is one's admirable personal traits and character that open others' hearts and changes their thinking. And those qualities do not derive from one's social status or position; rather, they are a manifestation of how one lives one's life.
"The example of people who, whatever their circumstances or background, lead strong, positive, confident lives dedicated to the happiness of others and the welfare of society, cannot help but move and inspire those around them."
