“It is about being resilient. I am resilient. Why would I not be? Where is the alternative? I need to respect my genes. Why I say this? Each one of us exists because we have the seed of resilience in our genes. We are descendants of those who survived hostile environments from millennia to millennia, generation to generation. Only some of us are not able to get in touch with the seed because we punish our mind and body by giving them too much of negativity and useless inputs. Yes, resilience is in our genes.

In a convocation of the whole sangha [community], everyone sits together mindfully, breathing and smiling, with the willingness to help, and not with the willingness to fight. This is basic. The two conflicting monks are present, and they know that everyone in the community expects them to make peace. Even before anything is said, the atmosphere of peace is already present. People refrain from listening to stories outside of the assembly, spreading news about this monk or other monks, commenting on the behavior of this monk or the other monks. That would not help. Everything must be said in public, in the community. So the two monks are sitting facing each other, breathing and, how hard, smiling.The second practice is Remembrance.”

“Sometimes things occur beneath the surface that will eventually explode, and by then it is too late to deal with them, so the only recourse is to divorce or fight or even kill each other. To meditate is to be aware of what is going on in yourself, your feelings, your body, your perceptions, your family. The second technique is to recall, and the more details which the community has, the easier it is to help.”
