1) Use your mouth only to bring happiness to other - Tsem Tuku
2) Whether we believe in a next life or in heaven is not as important as how we treat others now - Tsem Tulku
3) To hate and to have hate is not reality because it is based on afflicted emotion. Hatred or anger is not natural, it is not permanent, it is not your real state of mind. And afflicted emotions do not focus on reality or how the object is really existing; it is how we perceive them. - Tsem Tulku
" WHEN WE WANT TO GET SOMETHING, ACQUIRE OR ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WITH LASTING RESULTS, THERE ARE MANY WAYS AND LEVELS TO ATTRACT IT.
ReplyDeleteIF IT IS BY LOOKS, THEN WE NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED IN DIET AND EXERCISE, ETC.
IF IT IS BY KNOWLEDGE, THEN WE NEED TO PUT EFFORT INTO STUDYING.
IF IT IS BY WEALTH, WE NEED TO MAKE A LOT OF PERSONAL SACRIFICE AND WORK HARD OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
IF IT IS BY A KIND HEART AND MATURITY, THEN WE HAVE TO MENTALLY TRAIN OURSELVES THROUGH AWARENESS, PRACTICE AND CONSISTENCY.
WHATEVER THE METHOD, EFFORT WITH RESULTS IS THE KEY.
WHEN WE DO THINGS CONTINUOUSLY AND WITH EFFORT, THERE WILL BE RESULTS.
WHEN WE DO IT SPORADICALLY, OUR RESULTS WILL BE SPORADIC.

SIMILARLY, IF WE MEDITATE, FOCUS, PRACTISE AND CONTROL OUR MINDS WITH THE DHARMA EVERY SINGLE DAY, WE WILL LOOK LIKE WE CONTROL OUR MINDS. WE WILL LOOK LIKE WE ARE PRACTISING THE DHARMA.
