To meet someone who really hurts you is to meet a rare and precious treasure. Hold that person in high esteem, and make full use of the opportunity to eradicate your defects and make progress on the path. If you cannot yet feel love and compassion for those who treat you badly, it is a sign that your mind has not been fully transformed and that you need to keep working on it with increased application.

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

There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave

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

When sunlight falls on a crystal, lights of all colors of the rainbow appear; yet they have no substance that you can grasp. Likewise, all thoughts in their infinite variety are utterly without substance.

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

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?
