Thankfulness is a humble, open and prayerful attitude that helps you receive more of God's grace.

Children, we must cultivate reverence towards all great masters, monks and gurus.

If you see deficiencies in others, your duty is to forgive instead of pointing at it.

Look at the optimism of Nature. Nothing can stop it. Only the ego makes humans pessimistic, and this causes suffering.

Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.

When doing archana (daily prayers) as a group, one person should chant the mantra and the others should repeat it. Mantras should be chanted slowly, clearly and with devotion.

It is a good practice to write at least on page of mantra daily. Many people get better concentration by writing than by chanting. Try also to inculcate in children the habit of chanting and neatly writing the mantra. This will help to improve their handwriting, too. The book in which the mantra is written should not be thrown around; it should be carefully kept in our meditation or shrine room.
