To increase TOLERANCE in our community...
"we must sit down with good back posture
in the stillness and silence, sitting in
awareness, but not buying into any thought,
either good or bad. If, like brushing our
teeth, we do this a little every day, we begin to
see the dualistic view of self and other. We
will soften and open, unconsciously allowing us
to be at one with others’ feelings,
increasingly unable to do harm to
others." |
