Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.

Attachment leads to suffering.

When we feel happy and peaceful, our happiness and peace radiates around us, and others can enjoy it as well. This is called 'the enjoyment of others of our body of bliss'.

Nothing is to be clung to as I, me or mine

O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.

Believe nothing, O monks, just because you have been told it, or it is commonly believed, or because it is traditional or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take as your guide.

You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.
