Keep a pure heart, and you will have peace and quiet.

Try not to cling to things or situations that we see in the present. The persons who you always want to get rid of now or hate the most may one day become the ones who bring you the greatest accomplishments. Whereas the ones you love and do not want to separated from may be the enemies of past lives. If we understand, and are deeply convinced of the law of causality, we will naturally know how to create positive karmic affinities with others, accepting the changing and impermanent nature of life, and thus stay at ease under all circumstances.

If you want to be lucky and happy, you have to plant good thoughts and good causes.
Each encounter I have with every one of my students is special.
Although I have to go to many countries to promote the Dharma, no matter where I am in any corner of the world, as long as the heart is close, the distance is not far. The heart of the guru is always connected to the disciple, there is no limit to distance and space!
I pray that we will have a great good fortune in the world. That we can carry forward and protect the Dharma together. Help people relieve their pain. Achieve the fruit of the Buddha, and bring peace and happiness to all beings.
Our compassion should be directed towards external phenomena and reality, and toward other living beings. Without compassion, sentient beings will simply vanish. Without sentient beings there will be no bodhisattvas or enlightened beings. This is why the compassionate mind is tremendously powerful.
~Sangpo Rinpoche
