Life exists as probabilities and relationships.  If and when possible I will achieve a win-win situation or minimize my opponent's (and/or my own) losses.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>2. All are equal.  I will not look down upon the seemingly less fortunate, nor will I look favorably upon the seemingly more fortunate.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>3. Everything changes.  Attitudes are relative and fortune/loss is fleeting.  Attending to the middle road makes my life easier.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>4. Life is a journey, not a destination.  My perception and intent will govern how I enjoy the trip.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>5. The finger is not the moon.  Words and descriptions separate the wholeness of the universe.  How I responsibly live my life is the true communication.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>6. Greed is the greatest error of life.  Money and "things" are just tools.  Whereas it is nice to have "good tools", the ends do not justify the means.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>7. Existence is whole, and existence is cyclic.  As I come to understand this more fully, I will achieve greater contentment; a state worth much more than happiness.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Balance... Contentment... Peace....</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
