If a person's giving is conditional, unspeakable pain results when there is no return. But when there is return, the joy is only short.






It's never fair in this world due to our difference in karma.








Ask yourself these two questions: Do I remember at every moment that I am dying, and that everyone and everything else is, and so treat all beings at all times with compassion? Has my understanding of death and impermanence become so keen and so urgent that I am devoting every second to the pursuit of enlightenment? If you can answer “yes” to both of these, then you really understand impermanence.

In practicing Buddhism, one must have right belief, full self-confidence, and the courage to defeat worries and desire. Only after then can one have peace, ease, and spiritual freedom.
