The Highest...



The highest skill lies in the realization of selflessness.
The highest nobility lies in taming your own mind.
The highest excellence lies in having the attitude that seeks to help others.
The highest precept is continual mindfulness.

The highest remedy lies in understanding the intrinsic transcendence of everything.
The highest activity lies in not conforming with worldly concerns.
The highest mystic realization lies in lessening and transmuting the passions.
The highest charity lies in non-attachment.

The highest morality lies in having a peaceful mind.
The highest tolerance lies in humility.
The highest effort lies in abandoning attachment to works.

The highest meditation lies in the mind without claims.
The highest wisdom lies in not grasping anything as being what it appears to be.

~ Atisha
