"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith."

"What fuels the light of learning? Many of the noted leaders I have spoken with have stressed that it is perseverance—in other words, the courage to take one more step forwards when the going gets tough."
