There are Seven Tools of Transformation

Each of these tools is part of an effective spiritual practice which allows for you to train your heart mind and thereby to attain Enlightenment. Each day brings us the opportunity to enjoy our spiritual practice. When we wish to build a home, we use different tools for different tasks. It is the same when building our spiritual practice. We listen and learn and put our learning into action. The first tool is Right Speech. It is not difficult to put this into action. Simply begin to speak positively and to affirm love and kindness and to insure that your speech does not bring harm or suffering to yourself or others.
