Chan starts with gaining thorough knowledge of one's own self.
Through letting go of all attachments and giving rise to wisdom, our mind can regain its luminosity.
We call this knowledge of the notion of self "enlightenment" or "seeing one's self-nature."

The child whispered, 'God, speak to me'
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, 'God, speak to me!'
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
'God let me see you' and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice

And the child shouted,
'God show me a miracle!'
And a life was born but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
'Touch me God, and let me know you are here!'
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return.
It is the joy of our life to do them.
When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.

Police in riot gear intervened Wednesday when hundreds of people seeking a chance at subsidized housing grew frustrated after officials ran out of applications.
