The moment between before and after is called Truth.

Spiritual security means you are fully alive and comfortable in your life as it is, without expecting anything.

Compassion is like springwater under the ground. Your life is like a pipe that can tap into that underground spring. When you tap into it, water immediately comes up. So drive your pipe into the ground. Tap into the water of compassion.

If you want to find Buddha nature, love someone and care for them.

Make positive effort for the good.

Be present, from moment to moment, right in the middle of the real stream of time. That gives you spiritual security. That is why in Buddhism we don't try to escape from impermanence; we face time itself in our daily living.

All of us experience a gap between our minds and the reality of time—that's why we suffer.
