| |
How we live really matters; what we preach does not.
What we do matters; the image people have of us does not.
Understanding life's purpose matters; hordes of ideas from books do not.
Constant awareness matters; success in self-discipline does not, when it consists of a set of rules that we borrow and impose on ourselves.
Being awake in the present moment matters; the past, however glorious, does not.
Teachings matter; the figure of the teacher does not.
Quality of work matters; the quantity does not.
Search for truth matters; attachment to a belief does not.
Sensitivity to beauty and suffering matters; being scholarly does not.
Inner transformation matters; external cultivation (of compartmentalized values) does not.
An open mind matters; lofty opinions (with rigidity) do not.
Provoking thought matters; your accepting the above does not matter.
