Sometimes people come and they have so much pain and confusion in their eyes... what to do? A few words is a little bit of balm but doesn't really solve the deep disease within.

Look at your own potential. Don't overestimate your capabilities and push too hard, or underestimate them and use that as an excuse to be lazy.

We don't always need to be sitting at the foot of the teacher, but from time to time we need someone who can overview us and give us direction.

In Dharma practice, the most important thing is to be very sincere.

I sometimes feel tremendous compassion and helplessness.
