Women are fully capable of doing everything.

One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.

We should develop a deep appreciation for all the we have, and not waste it, otherwise we'll die with deep regrets.

In the beginning especially, we won't realize we're changing.

From the point of view of the relative world, merit is very important.

We live in a society which is heading in one direction, so it's good to have at least a few friends who share the same values and can encourage us and help us to remember that we're not alone or peculiar, but that what we're doing is a very valid way of life. This will encourage us to put the Dharma at the centre of our life and not the periphery, to use our daily life as our Dharma practice.

At one time I thought that if I could really understand renunciation and bodhichitta from the depths of my heart, then, for this lifetime that would be enough.
