(Vajarapani- Destroyer of the host of Mara's. This is his wrathful aspect)
Since starting a Buddhist practice over a year ago I have learned the following:Laugh! This keeps the mind light, supple, and unattached.
Stop trying to change the world! If you sincerely believe in the law of cause and effect then everything is exactly as it should be! Change your own mind not others!
We have free will exercise it. Karma can be purified so what are you waiting for?

Just yesterday I read the Letter From the Editor (or something like that) in the beginning of the current issue of BuddhaDharma and the Buddhist monk said that's the "problem" with us Westerners is that we are always so goal oriented and unable to see the humor in our human nature--even when it comes to our practice. He says that in the East--there is a lightness to the practice and realizing that as humans we're not always perfect.
Lately I too have decided to lighten up and laugh more.
BIG Hugs!
