"When your ability to care becomes boundless,
this is noble strength.
Failure does not crush,
we accept that nothing lasts.
The refusal to accept that all things pass,
brings tremendous problems.
Not only is all impermanent,
all is an illusion.
When we can face the facts of reality,
we begin to accept all common need."
