A person creates what they defend against.

Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.

All phenomena do not inherently exist because of being dependent-arisings. all phenomena do not inherently exist because of being dependently imputed.

Believe there is good in the world.

He who has renounced all violence towards all living beings, weak or strong, who neither kills nor causes others to kill - him I do call a holy man.

The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.

You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.
