A Short Buddhist Outlook on life:
· Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
· When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
· Follow the 3R’s
(i) Respect for self
(ii) Respect for others and
(iii) Responsibility for all your actions.
· Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
· Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
· Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
· When you realize you have made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
· Spend some time alone every day.
· Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
· Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
· Live a good, honorific life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
· A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
· In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up past.
· Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
· Be gentle with the earth.
· Once a year, go some place you’ve never been before.
· Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
