The restoration of balance begins with the practice of calm-abiding. Then, through the practice of equanimity and selflessness the realization of spaciousness begins to emerge. In the practice of loving-kindness we discover open-mindedness, whichbrings with it an element of balance, as the network of division begins to be dismantled.At this point, the mind is realized to be empty, and an empty or open-mind naturally fills with the light or raw energy that is love. Allowing this love to express itself in a creative, intelligent, and uncensored manner is compassion.
