On the day that you were born, you began to die. Do not waste a single moment more!

Life is fragile, like the dew hanging delicately on the grass, crystal drops that will be carried away on the first morning breeze.

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

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.

It’s never too early or too late to benefit beings.

On the day that you were born, you began to die. Do not waste a single moment more!

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.
