b. I
remind myself,
I will be
nice to everybody.
I will not
hurt anybody.
I will not
get mad at anybody.
I will not
lie.
I will not
insult others.
I will not
boast.
I will
respect all lives.
Questions:
1) What is the name of the mantra
we say in the morning?
2) What should we remind
ourselves every morning?
3) How do these thoughts help us?
