菩萨畏因,世人畏果。
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. Do not dwell in the past. Do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Even if everyone else is not doing good, I alone will. Even if everyone else is doing wrong, I alone will not.
Just as water cools both good and bad and washes away all impurity and dust, in the same way you should develop thoughts of love for friend and foe alike, and having reached perfection in love, you will attain enlightenment.
Everything changes, nothing remains without change. There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; It is a sword that kills.
