Although we want to be happy all the time we do not know how to do this, and we are always destroying our own happiness by developing anger, negative views and negative intentions. We are always trying to escape from problems, even in our dreams, but we do not know how to liberate ourself from suffering and problems. Because we do not understand the real nature of things, we are always creating our own suffering and problems by performing inappropriate or non-virtuous actions.

Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind.

Los problemas solo aparecen cuando no reaccionamos de manera constructiva ante las dificultades. Por consiguiente, si queremos solucionar nuestros problemas, debemos aprender a transformar nuestra mente.

If we want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind.

We will discover through our own experience that this precious mind of love is the real wish-granting jewel, because it fulfills the pure wishes of both ourself and all living beings.

Happiness and suffering are feelings - parts of our mind - and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must improve our understanding of the mind.

Due to mistakenly believing that outer problems are their own problems, most people seek ultimate refuge in the wrong objects. As a result, their suffering and problems never end.

To meditate is to familiarise our mind constantly and thoroughly with a virtuous object.

Some people believe I am the third Buddha, but this is people's choice. From me, never. I have never pretended I am special.

Every living being has the potential to become a Buddha: someone who has completely purified his or her mind of all faults and limitations and has brought all good qualities to perfection.
