The Seven Teachings of the Abenaki

The Seven Teachings of the Abenaki

Honesty

To achieve honesty within yourself
to recognize who and what you are,
do this and you can be honest with all others.

Humility
Humble yourself and recognize that
no matter how much you think you know,
you know very little of all the universe.

Truth

To learn truth,
to live with truth and to walk with truth,
to speak truth.

Wisdom

To have wisdom is to know the difference
between good and bad
and to know the result of your actions.

Love

Unconditional love to know that
when people are weak they need your love the most,
that your love is given freely
and you cannot put conditions
on it or your love is not true.

Respect

Respect others, their beliefs and respect yourself.
If you cannot show respect
you cannot expect respect to be given.

Bravery

To be brave is to do something right
even if you know it's going to hurt you.

This is an old Teaching of the Abenaki,
a old culture from Canada,
they have such right, it`s so easy!
