"Happiness and suffering, that's all lies;
It's just a matter of knowing or not knowing how to deal with situations.
Strong emotions, few emotions, that's all lies;
It's just a matter of how strongly you counteract them,"
-The Kadampa teachers

Without a foundation in the conventional truth,
The significance of the ultimate cannot be taught.
Without understanding the significance of the ultimate,
Liberation is not achieved.
-Najarjuna

"You are right in wisdom,
but this body is poor in understanding.
You do not compromise
and he does not obey.
This, my Soul, is extreme suffering."
-Khalil Gibran
