Make a difference

When we use the word 'making a difference' we often thing of generating some sort of outward change, to change the world. But actually the place where we really make a difference is in our own mind, when we bring it to stillness. From that stillness within that is superb, we will be able to be a true kalyânamitta to our fellow world citizens, without doubt and feeling discouraged. Indeed, to make a difference is to make your mind different first -- by purifying with the power of stillness.
