Maintaining balance amidst all the confusion of a go-go-go…
““Maintaining balance amidst all the confusion of a go-go-go society can be difficult, but at Manataka we teach ways to ignore bad words, overcome temptations, develop blind-eyes for ugliness and no ears to hear gossip about others. Learning not to be a gossip an learning ways not to listen to gossip about others is difficult, but it all can be overcome by immediately forgiving others and extending a gesture of love toward the gossiper, listeners of gossip and the target of gossip.””
