The problem is, we don’t like the obvious samsaric (worldly) pain, but we do like the samsaric glory.

   This samsaric glory, samsaric gain, samsaric beauty which is like time bomb, which will explode       sooner or later. 

         That is what we need to really concentrate and put the lower value, or no value at all.

        Basically it is easier for us to see no value in pain and anxiety. Much more difficult to see no value in samsaric glory.         (Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche) 

Inner And Outer world

"The world is not the same to all people.Each one lives in his or her own little domain.Peace and harmony may reside in one person's world, strife and grief in another's world.
But whatever be the circumstances of one's environment, it consists of both an inner and an outer world. The outside world is the one in which our life is engaged in action and interaction.The world inside us determine our happiness or unhappiness.
To exist in this world without peace of mind is to dwell in a kind of hell. The mind in chaos finds chaos all round. But the man of divine perceptions finds the earth a blissful abode.
So let us  try to quiet the outgoing mental restlessness and turn the mind within and practice even minded calmness all the time."

In caring for others and serving heaven,
There is nothing like using restraint.
Restraint begins with giving up one's own ideas.
This depends on Virtue gathered in the past.
If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.
If a man knows no limits, then he is fit to be a ruler.
The mother principle of ruling holds good for a long time.
This is called having deep roots and a firm foundation,
The Tao of long life and eternal vision.
