All beings are not only the parents in the past. They will become the Buddha in the future. If you free their lives, you are Buddha.

The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.

Nirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. There’s nowhere to go. There’s nothing else to be. There’s no destination. It’s not something to aim for in the afterlife. It’s simply the quality of this moment.

I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.

How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.
