Today we can see many different forms of Buddhism, such as Zen and Theravada Buddhism. All these different aspects are practices of Buddha's teachings, and all are equally precious; they are just different presentations.
Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is permanently free from all mistaken appearance, and whose function is to bestow mental peace upon each and every living being every day.
Buddha's teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently.
Our mind is like a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field.
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.
We should understand that our problems do not exist outside of ourself, but are part of our mind that experiences unpleasant feelings.
You who are skilled in the wisdom that unties the sealed knots
Of the profound meaning of the Sutras and Tantras of the Fourth
Deliverer of this fortunate aeon,
Who possess an abundance of good qualities like a thousand petalled lotus,
O peerless, great Spiritual Guide, may you live for a very long time.
This excellent commentary on the joyous Mahamudra
Derived from churning the essence of the ocean of Tantric scriptures
That arose from the heart of this most precious Spiritual Guide
Is published with a pure wish to benefit migrators.
The solution to all the problems of daily life is to cherish others.
We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.
Happiness and suffering are states of mind and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind.
The excellent expounder, the great Spiritual Master Kelsang Gyatso, who studied myriad Buddhist scriptures at the famous Je College of the great monastic university of Sera, Tegchen Ling, practised the meaning of the teachings he received, and became a wise, serious and realized Teacher. From the rain of profound and extensive Dharma that he has bestowed upon his fortunate disciples, he has recently given comprehensive instructions on the great Bodhisattvacharyavatara (Guide to The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life).
Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.
