In relation to the others we have too many beliefs all of them return to us uncertain, timid, prepotent and vain. The love and kindness are the most beneficial consultations. The love releases the egoísmo. The protagonist of the book dragged an anguish that came from distant spot observed it deepening in her leaning in the meditation. To contemplate its mind went a door to the calm. Lick Wanchuk: to accept the pain makes deepen but that the pleasure. You lick recommend to see them the disease and the death like something natural.

The spiritual thing must of be high-priority in the scale of valores.La compassion is what it takes us to the fullness but fast. To make the tasks in the world but of maintaining internally silence is another one practices desirable. Finalist of the prize espiritualidad 99.
