Platonism

Post by Nicholas »

This the first in a video series by Mindy Mandell, a lay person who loves the Platonic Way. Here she talks about the Four Virtues as states of mind:

A true mind and true intent bring truth within truth. True practice and true cultivation take the truth beyond truth. True behavior and true conduct add truth to truth. In everything and every way, be true, true, true. Master Hua
