Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. — Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

All the benefits, all the virtuous actions, the happiness, that sentient beings have, it comes from their virtuous actions, from their merits. These virtuous actions and merits come from their connection with their teacher. From learning it from their teacher. That is why, you need to follow a teacher, you need to study with a teacher.

Take movies, for example. Sometimes what you see on the screen makes you afraid; sometimes it makes you so sad that you cry. It’s not reality; it’s an illusion. Therefore it’s very important that you remain aware of how the people and things around you affect your mind. Check up.

Don't be bothered with what others do, do not criticize or judge them for their dualistic thoughts and actions; just pay attention to your own mind and nothing else. Once you have become completely liberated you will be able to help others become liberated.
