Gyalwa Dokhampa quotes:

It is important to be considerate of the future, but when we invest all of our present in our future hopes, we are placing a lot of value on what is inevitably in doubt.

Desire also creates a sense of attachment in the mind. Not only are we attached to our way of thinking and of seeing the world, but we become over-attached to the people or things we desire.

We are nourished by our relationships and generosity in return to our kindness and compassion for others.

The Appreciation Meditation is the first step towards allowing and encouraging your inner nature to come to the surface of your mind.

When we hold on too tightly to our attachments we are trying to keep them just as they are, to make them permanent. But nothing in life is permanent.
