 <\/div>\n
Some Dharma Advice #1<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[1]<\/b><\/div>\n
Patience<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The louder you speak with anger, <\/div>\n
the less will it be heard with patience. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[2]<\/b><\/div>\n
Spitefulness<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Spitefulness might lead to some relief,<\/div>\n
but it does not lead to true improvement,<\/div>\n
and if actualised in word and action,<\/div>\n
will lead to true damage of relationships.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
[3]<\/b><\/div>\n
Grace<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If you say you have accepted blame gracefully,<\/div>\n
but still complain about being blamed unfairly,<\/div>\n
you have yet to accept blame gracefully.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[4]<\/b><\/div>\n
Clarification<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If an accusation is not true,<\/div>\n
explain clearly to clarify at least three times. <\/div>\n
If ignored, ignore the accusation thereafter.<\/div>\n
You have already sufficiently done what you should.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[5] <\/b><\/div>\n
Stress<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Never become stressed. <\/div>\n
Stress is always self-induced,<\/div>\n
unmindfully chosen as a non-solution that worsens matters,<\/div>\n
when you can choose to be calmer and clearer instead.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[6] <\/b><\/div>\n
Mercy<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Have mercy on yourself<\/div>\n
by controlling the internal factors of your emotions.<\/div>\n
Never let yourself be at the mercy <\/div>\n
of the uncontrollable external factors of others’ emotions.<\/div>\n
If they have lost control of their emotions,<\/div>\n
why should you lose yours too? <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[7] <\/b><\/div>\n
Struggle<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Never struggle. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just deal with what you should.<\/div>\n
To struggle is to be unwilling <\/div>\n
to face and deal with it directly.<\/div>\n
Karma requires acceptance before it can be changed.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[8]<\/strong><\/div>\n
Responsibilities<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When sick, <\/div>\n
rest sufficiently first. <\/div>\n
When sufficiently rested, <\/div>\n
handle what you should. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
[9]<\/b><\/div>\n
Mindfulness<\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If mindful of Buddha,<\/div>\n
you will be like the Buddhas.<\/div>\n
If mindful of inner demons,<\/div>\n
you will be like your inner demons.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
[10]<\/strong><\/div>\n
Becoming<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
What you are mindful of<\/div>\n
is what you will become.<\/div>\n
Be more calm and clear<\/div>\n
with mindfulness of Buddha (Nianfo).   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
