Your Beauty
Even if one is born with plain looks, one can look radiant and attractive if the virtues of love, kindness and patience are cultivated. These virtues will give rise to an internal charm that will radiate outwards, making that person irresistible. Many people will be attracted to him or her because of that special charm as beauty naturally exudes from the person's body. Unlike external physical beauty which fades like a flower, this internal beauty has an aura of charm which can often become more intense in its glow the more mature the person becomes.

On the other hand, even if a person is born handsome and with beautiful features, many people will be turned away from such a person if he or she is jealous, selfish, cunning and conceited. But if the person is overflowing with loving-kindness, speaks gently and politely, he or she will be far more attractive than the so-called beautiful person who is conceited and full of pride. A beautiful complexion can attract attention, but for how long? There is no complexion which can remain beautiful especially if the person's mind is corrupted. External beauty will soon fade like all things must. The saying that 'beauty is but skin deep' is indeed very true. But the beauty of loving-kindness remains, and is appreciated by all alike.
