Legacy
Perhaps people will
have their own ideas, but for me I think I have only ever encouraged
disciples and students to make their Dhamma practice the most
important thing in their life.
I do not feel that excessive study
is important but rather we should fix our attention on the
development of awareness and love in every situation. This is what
has real and lasting value. There are no obstacles to practice,
except for what the mind presents, and so what we meet only ever has
the power and influence that we give it.
To be a living Master
means to be a beautiful human being and share the radiant qualities
of the heart with all other beings. This can be perceived in many
different ways according to the kamma and degree of understanding of
the individual, but in every case, it is established in and offered
with love.
There can be no sacrifice in our training for we only
ever let go of the conditions of our suffering, therefore we are the
ones who will benefit before others.
If we do not put down our
endless views and opinions we are always caught in the mind,
therefore the discipline of training is essential.
To meet
ourself, to know ourself and to let go of this very self.
This is the
way of Dhamma.
May all beings be happy.
