Young people need compassion and guidance, not obscure mysticism. Here are some guidelines for young people: Remember that you are always your own person. Do not surrender your mind, heart, or body to any person. Never compromise your dignity for any reason. Maintain your health with sound diet, hygiene, exercise, and clean living. Don’t engage in drugs or drinking. Money is never more important than your body and mind, but you must work and support yourself. Never depend on others for your livelihood.

The follower of Tao is always flexible and adaptable to circumstance.

Who you are is always right.

Do you want to know how spirituality works? Breathe.

Expression is never helped by suppression.

Self-discipline leads to higher spiritual states only if practiced with under- standing. The clearer the goal, the greater the result.

Once we make our decision, all things will come to us. Auspicious signs are not a superstition, but a confirmation. They are a response.
