One doesn't have to be religious to lead a moral life or attain wisdom.
Observing your thoughts, feelings & sensations is the grist of the practice.
While meditating we are simply seeing what the mind has been doing all along.
Observe & accept what ever arises & know that everything is as it needs to be.
When we teach a child patience we offer them the gift of a dignified life.
True patience is grounded in wisdom & compassion.
