Connecting to a larger view, we begin to conquer small-mindedness. No longer is our mind so cluttered by negativity. We keep meditating, contemplating, and trying to apply virtue in our daily life because doing so seems to make a difference. Our life is making more sense. At first perhaps it felt like drudgery to stick with our training, but now we do it because we enjoy it.

We see how not harming ourselves and others frees us from confusion.
