Who or How?

Do not care about who you are. Simply be attentive to how you are.

In every life situation you cannot avoid a first arrow - pain, anguish, unsatisfactoriness. Let it be.

Often, we condemn, hate, judge, criticize, deny this first arrow, this is like being struck by a second arrow. Let it go.

In most social contexts, we are struck by first arrows, let them be. We are then often compelled to react to those first arrows. When this drive to react arises, be motionless and acutely mindful, then let go of the desire to act or speak to protect who you are.

If we are mindful enough to act and speak from a place of goodwill and wisdom, who we are in this moment becomes how we are, and how we are in this moment is loving and peaceful.

A being of love and peace is a liberated and a liberating being.
