A Temple is one of the best ways of benefiting other living beings - it is the best form of public service.

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

Since inner peace is the source of all happiness, we can see how important meditation is.

Whenever we strive to make progress in our meditations, contemplations and so forth we are practicing effort.

This impure world that we presently experience exists only in relation to our impure mind.

Normally we divide the external world into that which we consider to be good or valuable, bad or worthless, or neither. Most of the time these discriminations are incorrect or have little meaning. For example, our habitual way of categorizing people as friends, enemies, and strangers depending on how they make us feel is both incorrect and a great obstacle to developing impartial love for all living beings. Rather than holding so tightly to our discriminations of the external world, it would be much more beneficial if we learned to discriminate between valuable and worthless states of mind.
