Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.

Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child.

Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
