     communication and interaction.
•    To develop a personal practice that fosters inner peace and skillful action.
•    To see our outer life in the world as a reflection of our inner state and experience.
•    To remember that each of our lives is an interaction of our inner life and our outer life
     in the world.
•    To understand that our life in the world includes participation in multiple roles,
     relationships and communities, each of which may hold different values and each of
     which affects us in different ways.
•    To be willing to explore our cultural norms, family patterns, personal values and

     capacity to relate to others in an unbiased and open way.

     us recognize what they are.

•    To seek the highest good in every relationship and situation.
•    To always say what is true, to always be kind, to only say what is useful.
