+I am very pleased to be a human being, yet I know that I can make what I have
+been given even better.  I know I am not perfect, yet I also know I have the
+ability to transform my imperfections.  Remembering this when I begin to
+practice or study makes any effort needed during the session much more freely

+the mind.  Practicing either form of meditation takes joyful exertion and
+self-discipline.
