Greetings Each
This Guide is more toward Zen Buddhism but the guide could be used toward Jediism ? Or are they pretty much the same. Whatever faith, duel or singular it matters not. What does matter is YOU and your actions.
Remember always that you are but a visitor, a traveler passing through. your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown.
None can live without toil and a craft that provides your needs, is a blessing indeed. But if you toil without rest, fatigue and weariness will overtake you, and you will denied the joy that comes from labour's end.
Speak quietly and kindly and be not forward with either opinions or advice. If you talk much, this will make you deaf to what others say, speak only if it betters the silence and you should know that there are few so wise that they cannot learn from others.
Be near when help is needed, but far when praise and thanks are being offered.
Take small accounts of might, wealth and fame, for they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture love within yourself and and strive to be a friend to all. Truly, compassion is a balm for many wounds.
Treasure silence when you find it, and while being mindful of your duties, set time aside, to be alone with yourself.
Cast off pretense and self-deception and see yourself as you really are.
Despite all appearances, no one is really evil. They are led astray by ignorance. If you ponder this truth always you will offer more light, rather than blame and condemnation.
You, no less than all beings have the essence of Nature within(Ki or The Force) Your essential Mind is pure. Therefore, when defilements cause you to stumble and fall, let not remorse nor dark foreboding cast you down. Be of good cheer and with this understanding, summon strength and walk on.
Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn bright. Carry this lamp always and in good time the darkness will yield and you will abide in the Light.
