Actually we've got countless lifetimes, so relax.

When we read history we find that in all ages people have thought, this is the dark age.

From the point of view of emptiness, there is neither being nor non-being, but we're not on the point of view of emptiness, we're on the point of view of our relative being.

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.

We're not lowly sinners, we're not worthless beings. We are something jewel-like and beautiful.

We all have our own karma and so different teachers will be meaningful to different students.

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.
