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

Either we're aware and present, or we're not. There is no half way.

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

For some people, every door opens, and they meet just who they need to meet when they need to meet them, all the conditions come together. For other people, there is one problem after the other, even though they are so sincere. And from a Tibetan point of view, this is because of a lack of merit.

We're always given the message that our potential is so limited, which is so sad. Actually, our potential is infinite.

If you take the time to study how to be a doctor and how to use your scalpel and your medicine, then there are endless beings out there to help.

If you lose interest in the dharma, then you might be reborn in a place where you are unlikely to meet with the dharma. And then you're completely off the path.
