Many people are benefiting beings, but from a dharma point of view, if you are a dharma practitioner, then the first priority is to get yourself together.

To be completely enlightened means that you're a Buddha.I don't speak of enlightenment.

The real spiritual power is enabling beings to realize the nature of the mind. That's the power of Buddha activity.

A lot of people with the purest motivation end up getting completely burned out. And that's because they lack the wisdom and the skill and the inner space.

To want not to want, you'll tie yourself in knots. So this is why the Tibetans always say, just relax the mind and open.

Just entering into the dharma and taking refuge and bodhisattva vows is a tremendous amount of merit, but we need more and more and more.

The world is full of incredible people who are embodiments of compassion. Some of them have a spiritual path; some of them don't.
