Attachment is like a rope that ties us to samsara. As long as we have strong attachment we have no mental freedom but are controlled by circumstances, like a puppet on a string.

Whenever we visualize the Buddhas in front of us our mind becomes like water on a clear, moonlit night, and the Buddhas appear in front of us without effort.

I need to practice Dharma because I want to experience happiness and avoid suffering, and the only perfect method for accomplishing these aims is to practice Dharma. If I do so, I shall eliminate all my own problems and I shall become capable of helping others.
