When I was younger, I judged a lot of people. Whether it was how they looked or how they talked or what they believed. I lived in constant opposition trying to define myself as different or better. Unfortunately for me at the time, I would always found someone who broke my normal judgments of them and I would have to re-establish the way in which I judged them. I found myself going in circles to keep up with the constantly changing world. I found no peace and a mountain of things to judge and put into a category.

　　When I found the Dharma and learned that all beings are constantly changing along with the environment that they are found in, I realized that as soon as I thought I knew someone to be a certain way they were already in the process of change. Quickly realizing that trying to judge others and figure them out, I found a wave of peace wash over me. I did not have to be separate from them.

　　When you are told that all beings are in constant change and that a way to find peace is to realize the impermanence of all phenomena, your mind is freed from grasping and peace comes naturally.

　　（年少轻狂时，我总爱评论别人，不论是他人的长相、说话方式，或是他们的信仰。我永远把自己放在对立的角度，突显自己的优秀或特殊。不幸的是，那时总有人能推翻我对他们的论断，让我不得不建立另一套价值标准来对待。周而复始，我发现自己一直随着这个外在世界而打转，心始终纷纷扰扰，无法平静，因为实在有太多的事物需要评判、分别。

　　接触佛法后，猛然发觉：一切众生都是随着他们所处的环境而不停地在变化。当我自以为认识某个人时，在这个当下，他已经改变了，不再是我过去所了解的他。很快地我也发现，当我从评断分析他人，体会到自己和他们是不可分割的时候，一份平静也同时涌上心头。

　　当你知道，所有众生都在不停地变动，知道真正回归平静的路，就是了解到世间万物都是生灭无常，执着放下了，寂然清净之心就会自然现前。）
