I do not seek to change other people or external conditions, I seek to be the Dhamma myself. I do not plant the seed by confronting, But waiting in alert to act when apportunity strikes. In that manner I shall live the Dhamma. In that manner I plant the seed of peace. All external conditions shall be my teachers, From whom and which I humbly learn, To understand the defilements deeper and deeper, And understand them so well that I can eventually let go of them.

Peace
When the heart is at peace,
everything is peace,
every moment is peace,
everywhere there is peace.
No matter what one does,
No matter where one goes,
No matter whom one is with,
Even when there's noone to accompany one,
Even when there's nothing one can do,
Even when one has nothing to do,
when the heart is at peace,
one is at peace.
There's no more need for company
There's no more need to look for distraction
There's no more going after external things
There's only stopping.
When the heart stops clinging,
the heart is at peace.
Clinging is the source of ALL suffering.
