◉ Act willingly to accord with adversity. To dissolve our debts we need to repay them with calmness and serenity, with no hatred or grievance within our hearts. If we retain hatred within our heart, then the debt of the next lifetime will be much greater than it was in this one.
◉ We do not accord with conditions when we react from emotion. When we instead react from wisdom, our vows are very firm.
◉ When interacting with people, matters and affairs accord with conditions.
◉ You cannot force confidence in the Teacher; it depends on affinity.
◉ Go along with conditions do not seek them. In this way obstacles will be reduced.
◉ The accumulation of merit comes from according with conditions.
◉ If we are unmoved by a situation, then regardless of the circumstances, it is a good situation.
◉ If we are destined to have something, do not worry, we will receive it. But if we are not destined to have something then regardless of what we do we will not be able to hold on to it.
◉ Buddhas and Bodhisattvas transform according to what sentient beings need.
◉ True wisdom comes from deep concentration for with concentration we will have calmness and not be tempted by external phenomena.
