Pure Mountain Tao

Many of the decisions we make are based on something other than our principles. Sometimes we avoid the responsibility and pain of separating good and bad, not because we lack the wisdom but because we lack the courage. There was a Russian writer named Alexander Solzhenitsyn who once said that there is a line separating good and evil that runs “through every human heart” and that every action he took, however small, was for one or the other. The same is true for ourselves. That is why it is important to practice diligently so that we can perform the right actions.
