The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

Gautama Buddha

Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
