| Quote of the moment |
| When others insult, rebuke, and speak unpleasant words to us, although an intolerable pain arises like a thorn in the heart, if we comprehend the teachings then we can recognize the essenceless nature of these words which resemble an echo. So just as when an inanimate object is scolded, we will experience not the slightest mental turmoil. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Within oneself, within each single person, one finds many inconsistencies and contradictions. Sometimes the disparity between one's thoughts early and late in the day is so great that one spends all one's energy trying to figure out how it can be resolved. This can lead to headaches. So naturally, between two persons, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, there are differences. Conflicts and disagreements are bound to happen. If so, then how do we deal with them? If we have confidence in our capacity for reconciliation then we will be able to deal with these situations. |

| Beer Lord's Prayer: Our barrel which is on draught, let your beer tap, its will be done. Be in all the restaurants and pubs, and forgive our thirst as we forgive our waiters, and lead us not to the police station, but deprive us of all the nasty teetotallers. |
