By gaining experience of virtuous minds such as love, compassion, patience, and wisdom we will overcome negative minds.

These virtuous minds are our real refuge.

Thus, by training in Dharma we build a refuge within our own mind.

As soon as we notice that our mind is becoming tense or unhappy we should be especially vigilant, for such a mind is a breeding ground for delusions.

By understanding how delusions develop we can see that self-cherishing is at the very core of our negativity and suffering.

Disregarding the happiness of others and selfishly pursuing our own interests, we perform many non-virtuous actions, the effects of which are only suffering.

All the misery of disease, sickness, natural disasters and war can be traced back to self-cherishing.
