-Believe nothing no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense - Buddha
The teacher who crushes your pride and makes this worldly life completely miserable is something that you ask for. He is the assassin, he is the man or woman whom you have hired to completely dismantle you.
-Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

Simple kindness to ones's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all. It produces no backlash, has no downside, and never leads to loss or despair. It increases one's true power without exacting any toll. But to reach maximum power with such kindness can permit no expectation of some selfish reward, and it's effect is as far reaching as it is subtle.

That which is injurious loses its capacity to harm when it is brought into the light, and we attract to us that which we emanate.
-Dr Hawkins
