Maitreya Smile

"His belly so huge so as to accommodate everything unbearable;
His mouth so wide-open so as to laugh at everything ridiculous."

We should always strive to fill ourselves up with loving-kindness and compassion, until these qualities overflow and flood your home, then your neighbourhood, then your country, then the whole world, and then the future world, and then the "other Worlds".

End of lesson. Class dismissed. Go and play!

Seriously! ... The point is that when you do "whatever" that makes yourself feel good and/or is good for you, please also see that it does not harm others and the "greater good". If possible, make sure it's also good for others and serves the "greater good".

Do not indulge in destructive activities simply because of peer pressure, no longer relevant old social beliefs or your past conditioning. I know that we are ruled by our habits. It takes a habit to replace a habit. Develop some positive, wholesome, constructive, corrective habits by remembering to do these right things over and over again. Do not be disheartened if we find ourselves slipping back to the old habits, but always rise up with fresh courage. There is no better means of attainment than by continually beginning again.

Got it? Good! You can really go out to play now!
... and please make sure you don't leave anything behind.
... especially, your Smile.
