Purified mind

As I converse with various people, I keep my mind always in its purified state, always centered in merit and in Dhamma. No greed, anger, nor delusions are allowed to defile me. In the purified state, I can see through to the heart of a person's suffering and its causes. With compassion, I offer them insight into their suffering and in doing so, I gain merit. What they do with that knowledge is now up to them. Their kamma is no one else's but their own.
