This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Great thread! This was particularly moving for me:
Finding True Refuge - Ven. Pannavati Bhikkhuni
“The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are. To follow a path with heart, we must understand the whole process of making war within ourselves and without, how it begins and how it ends."

This is a favorite of mine that i rediscovered recently. Some great stuff here imo but if this is a theravadan only party, mods, feel free to delete it and no hard feelings.

We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to
the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his
children smart.

Then,
saturated with joy,
you will put an end to suffering and stress.
