One of the most common ways of not acknowledging our faults is to blame others.

I have not met one living being that has not been the mother of all the rest.

Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions.

Going for refuge to Buddha,Dharma, and Sangha means that we apply effort to receiving Buddha's blessings, to putting Dharma into practice, and to receiving help from Sangha.

Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.

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

Pride is a mental factor causing us to feel higher or superior to others. Even our study of dharma can be the occasion for the delusion of pride to arise if we think our understanding is superior to that of everyone else. Pride is harmful because it prevents us from accepting fresh knowledge from a qualified teacher. Just as a pool of water cannot collect on the tip of a mountain, so too a reservoir of understanding cannot be established in a mind falsely elevated by pride.
