We do not need to become unhappy just because things don't go our way.

We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.

Our world does not exist from its own side--like a dream world, it is a mere appearance to our mind. In dreams we can see and touch our dream world, but when we wake up we realize that it is simply a projection of our mind and had no existence outside our mind. In the same way, the world we see when we are awake is simply a projection of our mind and has no existence outside our mind.

When a fully qualified Mahayana disciple relies completely upon a fully qualified Mahayana Spiritual Guide the attainment of enlightenment is easy.

Right now we have obtained a human rebirth and have the opportunity to attain enlightenment through Dharma practice, so if we waste this precious opportunity in meaningless activities there is no greater loss and no greater foolishness.

Our mental attitude transforms a situation into either a problem or an opportunity.

If everyone practiced cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.
