Practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day. People can’t see your mind; what people see is a manifestation of your attitude in your actions of body and speech. So pay attention to your attitude all the time. Guard it as if you are the police, or like a parent cares for a child, like a bodyguard, or as if you are the guru and your mind is your disciple. ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

“Things that are difficult and things that we don’t like bring lung, [a disorder of elements within the body that can negatively impact both body and mind]. … Sometimes when you put a lot of energy into something, suddenly the energy changes and then you change … Psychologically, the antidote is to accept it. … Especially, think of the benefits of the problem. The basis for accepting the problem is thinking of its benefits. By experiencing it, it enables you to finish past negative karma.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche
