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

The past is only an unreliable memory held in the present. The future is only a projection of our present conceptions. The present itself vanishes as soon as we try to grasp it. So why bother with attempting to establish an illusion of solid ground?

Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second.

If you vanquish ego-clinging today, tonight you will be enlightened.

We live under threat from painful emotions: anger, desire, pride, jealousy and so on. Therefore we should always be ready to counter these with the appropriate antidote. True practitioners may be recognized by their unfailing mindfulness.

A beautiful country is a dream-like illusion. It is senseless to cling to it. Unless the inner forces of negative emotions are conquered, strife with outer enemies will never end.

Love and nonattachment are the basis of true generosity.
