Advice

For thousands of years, many of us have been living under the pressure of the ten commandments of the Old Testament of the Bible. What I think is that these commandments should be taken as advice instead of strict rules; only then one can understand and follow them in the way they were designed.

I start this blog by presenting a new set of ten points of advice for the reader to consider. The basis of these rules is in Christian beliefs that I have been working to balance with Buddhist teachings about the middle way.

1. Do not take advantage of any misunderstanding.
2. Trust.
3. Do not lie for material or selfish gain.
4. Learn when not to say a word.
5. Compensate all wrongdoings in a proper way.
6. Forgive.
7. See your Love.
8. Help your Neighbor.
9. Support the Society.
10. Do not harm a Living Being - balance for the Good of all Life.
