The power of thought is extremely powerful.

We don't want to go to heaven. We want to be reborn so that we can keep going and realize the dharma so we can benefit other beings, endlessly. It's a very different thing.

The Tibetans are good at learning many skillful ways to show that everything we do becomes dharma practice, depending on which kind of approach we use.

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.

You have to recharge your batteries.

The Buddha said that samsara by its nature is painful. He didn't say it was a joyride.

The Dharma is a very, very special and precious thing. The more you practice it, the more you will realize this.
