✨✨“…. When you come up against danger or suffering, focus on the sphere of merit (inside you). Don’t let your mind be distracted by anything else. Recollect the merits you have done in the past – they can be your true refuge and really help you ….”
“…. Any person endowed with merit, no matter how they earn their living, will overcome obstacles to achieve wealth. Without merit, whatever a person does, they will encounter obstacles. This is why every person needs to cultivate merit – to extricate themselves from poverty and eventually escape hardship and suffering ….”
"....Those who attain Dhamma (in their meditation). It will ensure that the practitioner doesn’t slip into the unfortunate realms. Make sure not to get separated from the Dhamma – the destiny of those far from the Dhamma is not guaranteed – only those close to the Dhamma are guaranteed to become pure in body, speech and mind ….”
“…. Contentment with the stopping (of the mind) is the essence of meditation to calm the mind (samatha) – and is the secret of success, whether on the mundane or transcendental paths of life ….”
“…. Every person who comes into this world arrives alone. No-one arrives together with a child, a husband or a wife. We come into this world alone and leave it alone – alone in birth and alone in death ….”
“…. The more you give, the more you get. The more you withhold, the more you forego. (For a stingy person) when stuff runs out, it won’t replenish. However, if we are generous by nature, hardship will only be temporary – even if we are left with nothing, it will soon be replenished ….”
“…. If in meditation the mind comes to a standstill even for the blink of an eye, or reflecting on the impermanence and loathsomeness of the Five Aggregates – the merit is more than building whole schools or temples ….”
“…. If you are impatient, you cannot reach Nirvana. You need to practise by treating what you see as merely what is seen; treating what you hear as merely what is heard; treating what you smell as merely what is smelt; treating what you taste as merely what is tasted; treating what you touch as merely what is touched, and; treating what you know as merely what is known. If you take things personally you’ll never get to Nirvana. In the meantime, treat everything without attachment ….”✨✨
