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.

Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wonder of wonders! Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, endowed with wisdom and virtue, but because men's minds have become inverted through delusive thinking they fail to perceive this.

Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
