Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

The compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment. Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies. If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly, he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose my peace of mind.

The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

May I examine my mind in all actions and as soon as a negative state occurs, since it endangers myself and others, may I firmly face and avert it.

The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.

Nothing is permanent.

If we can refrain from harming others in our actions & words, we can start to give serious attention to actively doing good.
