“Yesterday you learned of the Eightfold Path. Beginning today for the next 7 days try to focus on one of those eight right ways. Make this the focus of your practice outside of your dedicated time reading and chanting. You might pick Right Speech and then for the rest of the week try, to the best of your ability, to only engage in speech that, not only causes no harm, but encourages good. Or you might pick another of the Eight Right Things. Focus on one, maybe even write it on a card and tape it to your computer or bathroom mirror to remind you of your intention. Actually this kind of setting your intention is engaging in another of the Eight Right Ways, that of Right Intention. See how easy it is to do this practice, or at least try to do the practice. If in the course of this week you should mess up or forget, please do not worry about it. Use it as a lesson to advance your growth.”

“The story of the Burning House is really about our practice of Buddhism. We are constantly living in a burning house, a house of the sufferings of life. Sometimes we distract ourselves from these sufferings by indulging in a variety of things, all basically misguided attempts to eliminate suffering but actually often contributing to more suffering.”
