• Buddhism and moving through life without the motivation to harm
• Unwinding the heart and opening the mind
• Continuing to chant as feelings come and go
• Following advice from the guru
• Contemplation of the body
• The Hanumat Stavan and other prayers
• Loving someone regardless of what we want them to be doing
• Extending our inner love and acceptance out to others
• Physical pleasure, impermanence, and spiritual lessons
• The inevitability of Karma
• Looking within when we are upset with others

“There’s no end to the lust for pleasure until you recognize what they call impermanence; the changing nature of everything. When you do recognize that, pleasure actually can be more intense because you are not expecting it to last forever. You are not approaching it with grasping and clinging and neediness. You approach it with joy.” – Krishna Das
