"Our practice of guru devotion is the source of all the progress and all the problems in this life and from life to life. From our practice in this life, we receive all the benefits from life to life, up to enlightenment. This is the source of the greatest loss and the greatest profit. If we don’t understand this point well or don’t concentrate on it, we experience the greatest loss. Each of us has the answer to achieving success in all our future lives. It is in our hands."

Lama Zopa Rinpoche
