"A short moment of experiencing natural wakefulness, once in
a while, is not enough to bring disturbing emotions and karma to a permanent end. We must develop its strength; that is accomplishment.”

~ Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

Profound and tranquil, free from complexity,
Uncompounded luminous clarity,
Beyond the mind of conceptual ideas;
This is the depth of the mind of the Victorious Ones.

In this there is not a thing to be removed,
Nor anything that needs to be added.
It is merely the immaculate
Looking naturally at itself.

~ Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is often misquoted, but the following piece seems genuine and is recounted by an attorney in Seattle:

"Someone I know who volunteers in India at Mother Theresa's and who met the Dalai Lama for an interview told me a great story: She asked the Dalai Lama what to do with the person who had truly abused you, and the Dalai Lama looked closely in her eyes for many breaths, then finally said, you turn to that person and forgive him (her) and then you run away as fast as you can."

Your mind won't be found elsewhere,
It is just your present thought.
Don't chase after that thought.
Just look into its essence.
There is no duality -- no observer, nothing observed.

Dudjom Rinpoche was often inspired through dreaming. He tells how Guru Rinpoche appeared to him once:

"I dreamed I was sitting in front of the shrine in a very large building that looked like a temple. Suddenly a young white man dressed in white with his hair falling loosely over his shoulder appeared at the entrance. He was playing the cymbals melodiously and dancing the swirling, joyous dance of the Ging. He came closer and closer, singing:

A keen sense of life's tenuous, evanescent nature helps us to let go a little; prioritze things in light of the fact that we won't be here forever; experience gratitude, reverance and awe; and realize that we can ill afford to procrastinate regarding the most important matters and people.
