When we look at external things, we can usually distinguish those that are useful and valuable from those that are not. We must learn to look at our mind in the same way.

If we transform our ordinary mind into love and compassion we will naturally act in a positive way.

When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears.

Faith is like pure eyes that enable us to see a pure and perfect world beyond the suffering world of samsara.

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

Listening is a lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance.

Just as full sunlight completely dispels all darkness but even a few rays provide a measure of light, so, if we complete the practice of training the mind, we will totally dispel the darkness of our ignorance, but if we engage in only some parts of the practice, this will still help to reduce our ignorance and self-cherishing .
