The Blessed One said “Amrapali, the mind of woman is easily disturbed and misled. She yields to her desires and surrenders to jealousy more easily than a man. Therefore it is more difficult for a woman to follow the Noble Path.
This is especially true for a young and beautiful woman. You must step forth toward the Noble Path by overcoming lust and temptation.”
– The Teachings Of Buddha, pg 147

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I’ll try again tomorrow.
The Elders tell us the greatest gift we can seek is peace of mind; to walk in balance, to respect all things. For us to do this, we must have peace within ourselves and peace within ourselves cannot come unless we are walking the path the Creator would have us walk. Sometimes the tests on this path are difficult, but we know that each test makes us stronger.
