The World Is Our School

Let Us Accept The Invitation, Ever-open, From The Stillness, Taste Its Exquisite Sweetness, And Heed Its Silent Instruction.

Whoever Lives In The Spirit Lives In Perennial Peace. It Is A Happy Peace, A Smiling Peace, But One Is Not Lost In It. One Is Aware Also Of The Suffering Which Exists Around Him Or Her And The World At Large.

While The Mind Remains So Fixed In Its Own Personal Affairs, Be They Little Or Large, It Has No Chance To Open Up Its Higher Levels. When Attention And Emotion Are Kept So Confined, The Chance They Offer Of This Higher Use Is Missed. The Peace, Truth, And Goodness Which Could Be Had Are Untouched.

Meditation Is The Fundamental Practice Of The Quest.

Living In The Present Moment Means Living According To Truth And Principle (but Not According To Hard Rigid Dogma) Flexibly Applied In The Particular Way Required By The Immediate Situation In Which You Are. Such A Way Of Living Leaves You Free, Not Ruled Tyrannically By Imposed Regulations Which May Not At All Suit The Particular Case.
