A dog, however nice he is, and sweet-tempered, doesn’t have much of a range of options. A human being does.

Actually we’ve got countless lifetimes, so relax.

Lifetime

Relax

All of the external circumstances and the rude and difficult people we meet, instead of getting angry, upset, or frustrated, we see that we can take them all and use them on the path in a way that actually invigorates and strengthens us, rather than defeats us. It’s all very practical advice, and that’s why I talk a lot about how to make our daily life into Dharma practice, otherwise it’s easy to feel hopeless and helpless.

All the other religions I had ever read about dealt with the idea of God, and your relationship with God. Buddhism is the only religion that deals with man himself and the nature of the mind – how to deal with yourself and your condition, here and now, as opposed to having to deal with something outside yourself.

As a human being, we have everything we need. It’s enough suffering to give us incentive to go on, but not so much that we don’t know where to turn.

As my lama always told me, I learned that I practice better when I’m by myself.

Because we’re trying, because we want, it’s very hard to get.

Buddhism is the most active one! The whole time, we’re dealing with the mind and how to tame it, and how to transcend our ordinary conventional mind. This takes an enormous amount of determination and perseverance. It also requires an attitude of being relaxed and spacious, rather than tense and stressed. It’s certainly not a matter of lying back and expecting it all to happen. If we don’t make it happen, it won’t!

Perseverance

Each of us has something to do in this lifetime. We all have negative emotions to be purified and positive emotions to be cultivated. All of us need to reconnect to our source and drop our personal stories, don’t we? Men, women, old, young, from here, from there – it is the same. All you can do is your practice. There is nothing else. Don’t get caught up. Don’t stop. We have to learn how to get out or our own way. Because ultimately, the only thing standing in our way is ourselves.
