...with the power of compassion there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

Never forget how swiftly this life will be over, like a flash of summer lightning or the wave of a hand. Now that you have the opportunity to practice dharma, do not waste a single moment on anything else.

Your practice should be strengthened by the difficult situations you encounter, just as a bonfire in a strong wind is not blown out, but blazes even brighter.

When death finally comes you will welcome it like an old friend, being aware of how dreamlike and impermanent the pheneomenal world really is.

To wish happiness for others, even for those who want to do us harm, is the source of consummate happiness.

Day by day, be content with whatever you have and satisfied with whatever happens. Everything else will then fall naturally into place.

May the suffering of all beings be pacified.
