You create what you defend against.

Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient Law.

How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.

Like the mother of the world, touch each being as your beloved child.

Live in joy and love even among those who hate; live in joy and peace even among the troubled.

When we feel happy and peaceful, our happiness and peace radiates around us, and others can enjoy it as well. This is called 'the enjoyment of others of our body of bliss'.

Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful
