What would we like to our children? A beautiful image of ourselves, so they see us more beautiful than we are in reality? What's the point? Material goods? This is putting their hands a heap of problems. [] Our presence? Whether we like it or not, they will be separated from us when we die. [] This quen however we can bequeath them is an inspiration, a vision that makes sense and that can give them confidence in every moment of their lives. To this we must of course acquire ourselves some confidence, an inner certainty. Now this feeling can come to lévidence of our mind; So it is high time to take care of it. JIGME Khyentse Rinpoche (b. 1964)
