Buddhadas Bikkhu
Handbook for Mankind
"What we must do is to lead the kind of life described as right living,
and be filled day and night with the joy that arises from conduct that is consistently good, beautiful and right.
This limits the aimless wandering of thougts
and makes it possible to concentrate and to experience true wisdom at all times.
Then, if the conditions are right, the result is disenchantment, breaking loose, becoming free.
...
It rests with each of us to practice introspection,
to observe and understand our own imperfections,
and then try to root them out completely.
Even if one is only partially succesful, some clear understanding will result.
As the defilements are progressively eliminated, their place is taken by purity, wisdom and peace."
