Values

Love thy neighbor. Compassion to others, is compassion to yourself.

Be of that of good and around you is good too.

We all have the courage to climb over the wall of ourselves.

The path of right and wrong gives you the power to choose. We are to judge.

Be true to yourself.

Living in modesty, not too much. Within the little, simplicity can give the breath of freedom.

Be as an instrument and as a whole as the orchestra. Working with each other, then we may play wonderful music.

A seed needs nurturing. A sprout needs care. A plant needs love. Each and every is a process. Patience is a virtue.

Respect thyself with equanimity.
