There are other ways of benefiting than by being a recognized tulku and sitting on a throne.

Perhaps one of the main antidotes to depression, lack of self-esteem, loneliness and so forth is the recognition that we really do have Buddha nature. All the other problems like anger, jealousy, ambitions, are merely habitual patterns that we've learned, but aren't inherent to who we are.

I've often said that the seventh paramita should be a sense of humor, so we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Obviously being relaxed doesn't mean that you make no effort.

We have the pure nature of the mind.

On a relative level where we live, we need to have a sense of identity, otherwise we'd fall apart, wouldn't we?

If nuns begin getting more empowered, where does that leave us?
