The context of the general teachings is one of talking to a sentient being who is experiencing uninterrupted bewilderment – one thought or emotion after another like the surface of the ocean in turmoil, without any recognition of mind essence. This confusion is continuous, without almost any break, life after life.

True confidence comes from realizing the view.

Being aggressive, you can accomplish some things, but with gentleness, you can accomplish all things.

Don’t let any emotional thought concerning success or failure, fame or gain, overtake you, and don’t dwell upon them. Give up your personal shortcomings, such as foolish talk, distracting activities, and absentmindedness. Train in being totally gentle in all physical, verbal, or mental activities. Don’t ponder the flaws of others; think instead of their good sides.

When remaining in awareness itself, every thought movement, no matter what kind, is like a drawing in air.

There is no thing to see: you simply need to see that.
