". . . Really, I have translated for the best ones—totally pure, spotless, compassionate. Buildings like stupas are shakable—bodhisattvas aren’t shakable!

With Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the consistency in his patience was amazing. The consistency in his generosity, the consistency in his devotion. He’s strong—physically and emotionally. But when he talks about the suffering of sentient beings, he’s ready to shed tears every time. Again, when talking about the lineage masters and the Karmapa, he’s just in tears. There is a Tibetan saying, “Those who have the opportunity to lean against a gold mountain, there’s some possibility a little gold will be rubbed off.” Of course, I am not talking about me!"

There is no way to be a good person without making any efforts, doing nothing. But if we bring to bear the sort of confidence and sincere determination that says, "I don’t care what happens; no matter what, I will be a good person in the world; it is not alright for everyone in the world to be deceitful, with bad intentions and behaving badly, so I myself will be a good person," in that case, I think at that point we can become good people without difficulty. I think it can basically come about without hardship.
