Tolerance
No matter in what situations we find ourselves, when we don't have so many
opinions and preferences we naturally experience more peace of mind. We feel
more agreeable, more comfortable, and more able to fit in with others. When
we are more tolerant, not only do our minds' stability and experience of
meditation improve, but the conduct of our body, speech, and mind also
improves because we stop being so reactive.
