That goodness is what survives death, a fundamental goodness that is in each and every one of us. The whole of our life is a teaching of how to uncover that strong goodness, and a training toward realizing it.

Why, if we are as pragmatic as we claim, don't we begin to ask ourselves seriously: Where does our real future lie?

Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth

There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.

Just as if you put your finger into water, it will get wet, and if you put it into fire, it will burn, so if you invest your mind in the wisdom mind of the Buddhas, it will transform into their wisdom nature.

The future is very much in our hands--in our actions.

The masters say if you create an auspicious condition in your body and your environment then meditation and realization will automatically arise.
