HaloScan.com - Comments: "My values are based on one principle: loving others as I love myself, or as Buddha taught, trying to view all beings as having been at one time your own beloved mother. When you strive tolive with this thought uppermost, then you naturally strive to eliminate others' suffering, not create suffering. You do not lie, make war, steal or despise. You don't ravage the earth and its peoples, you don't ignore poverty and pain. You don't strive to enrich yourself or your family and friends at the expense of others toil and sacrifice. You do not try to force anything on anyone. You live mindfully and with compassion. You care. You do not judge.
You do not live this way because you fear retribution in an afterlife. You live this way because it is right."
