[451] We are bound by vice.
\nWe are freed by virtue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[452] Even having the ‘best’ external critics
\nis not good enough
\nif we refuse to be our own ‘worst’ critics
\nto improve ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

[453] Instead of quickly turning away,
\nwe should look with greater interest
\nat our adversities and adversaries,
\nas they are negative manifestations
\nof our karma and perceptions
\nthat require purification.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[454] Perfect love does not love only the perfect.
\nPerfect love cares for the imperfect too.<\/p>\n

Such is the perfect love of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,
\nwho love all beings despite their imperfections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[455] The main problem with those who are as eager to brush off proposed solutions as they are to lament about many problems is that they are not really eager to solve any of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[456] The more you blame yourself
\nfor a fault without resolving it,
\nthe more you affirm that fault.<\/p>\n

The more your affirm that fault,
\nthe more you blame yourself
\nfor that fault without resolving it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[457] Without resolution to seek it,
\nthere will be no solution.
\nWith resolution to seek it,
\nthere will be a solution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[458] The aspects of your everyday life,
\nwhere you practise the least Dharma in,
\nare seldom the parts that need it less;
\nbut the very ones that need it more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[459]\u00a0If your motivation is right
\nbut you have forgotten so,
\njust mindfully refresh it.<\/p>\n

If your motivation is wrong
\nbut you have realised so,
\njust mindfully reset it.<\/p>\n

[460] Imprisonment for exploitation
\nshould not be mistaken as
\nprotection or welfare.<\/p>\n
