[541] The unmindful confuse wants as needs.
\nThe mindful differentiate wants from needs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[542]\u00a0When we learn none of the Dharma,
\nwe are unfocused
\n(due to having no direction).<\/p>\n

When we learn some of the Dharma,
\nwe are focused
\n(due to having some direction).<\/p>\n

When we learn more of the Dharma,
\nwe are unfocused
\n(due to having many directions).<\/p>\n

When we learn even more of the Dharma,
\nwe are focused
\n(due to having a clear direction).<\/p>\n

[543] True respect arises
\nfrom seeing what is worthy in substance,
\nnot from seeing who is high in status.<\/p>\n

[544] Seeking to forgive only
\nis as if you are already perfect.
\nSeeking forgiveness too,
\nis part of the path to be perfect.<\/p>\n

[545] Despite many possibilities
\nof various paths to liberation,
\nthere is always one with greatest practicality
\nfor every one person.<\/p>\n

[546] Form is emptiness,
\n‘zero’ in terms of absolute absence
\nof non-change (and self)
\nin all mind and matter.
\n
\nEmptiness is form,
\n‘infinity’ in terms of relative presence
\nof all mind and matter
\nas constant change (and non-self).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Perfection of Wisdom
\nis to know and see the Middle Path between,
\nto function with balanced and thus
\nright understanding of form and emptiness.<\/p>\n

All mind and matter
\nis neither nothingness nor everything-ness.
\nAll mind and matter
\nis but changing-ness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[547]\u00a0There are two kinds of resonance with the Dharma.<\/p>\n

The first is major resonance,
\nwhen its relevance is more fully realised
\nas one is already quite aligned with it.<\/p>\n

The second is minor resonance,
\nwhen its relevance is less fully realised
\nas one has to further align with it.<\/p>\n

[548] If reluctance to purify oneself is
\nresistance against one’s true
\nand pure Buddha-nature,
\nwhy not practise the Dharma gladly instead?<\/p>\n

[549] As you can only have one thought in each moment,
\nyou only have to take care of your mind in this moment.
\nThis is how mindfulness is practised from moment to moment,
\nfor all moments.<\/p>\n

[550] Conscience can only sleep.
\nConscience can never die.
\nConscience can always awaken.<\/p>\n
