In the fourteenth century, Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, wrote (as translated by Thubten Jigme Norbu): The human body at peace with itself is more precious than the rarest gem. Cherish your body: it is yours for this one time only. The human form is won with difficult

need, and that is the watchman named mindfulness—the guard who is always on the lookout for when we get carried away by mindlessness.”

the guru appears to be kind and generous in the midst of conflict, in this degenerate time, you cannot ask for more.

The quintessence of the Dharma is mindfulness.
