what traps us in unhealthy patterns of stress and imbalance, it is also the
mind which can free us. Through meditation, we can tap the healing qualities of

Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.

As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

you have crossed the flood.

Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings,

Conquer the angry man by love.
Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth.
-The Dhammapada

Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.
- Sutta Nipata
