Mindfulness training

- the 1st step in mindfulness is to recognise and embrace what is there whether it is positive or negative, pleasant or unpleasant
- we would know the nature of what is there and how to transform the energy and channel it in a good direction
- if we organise our life intelligently and direct all of our energy skillfully, we're capable of helping other people suffer less
- the teaching of love is crucial where loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity are the elements of true love which we can practise everyday
- with deep understanding and communication, happiness is possible
