The art of co-existing peacefully with your own conditioned and connecting mind is the art of living well. If this is achieved, then whatever you do and wherever you go, a measure of success is already yours. A
solid foundation of peacefulness within your life is the platform upon which you can do truly great things. Peace: make a foundation. But of course the paradox is that if you grasp for peaceful moments too much then it doesn’t work, perfectionism is anything but perfect. Rather if you sincerely aim to benefit others and relinquish your clinging, even to being peaceful, then you can make progress. Easier said than done though, life is practice. And if you can accept your own craziness then it’s one of the sanest decisions you’ll ever make.

If you would like to gain far greater wisdom than my paltry offerings above and hope to create a solid foundation of peace and equanimity in your life then I recommend you attend online classes given by my Buddhist teacher: a highly experienced and respected Rinpoche with a deep knowledge of Buddhism, various other religions, fields, and – importantly – people. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to join the classes, you just need a respectful and open attitude and an interest in learning. I cannot recommend these lessons highly enough.

If you would like to take part in online lessons each Sunday at 21:30 Taipei time then see here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFWg51CTcQLFko75QAnZrEhRNF77DukF_pdEybLVbVwl-OAg/viewform
