You are all magnificent, noble Buddhas. You are people with an incredibly precious mission. Don’t compare yourselves to others. Value and accept yourselves for who you are and always strive to develop your own unique potential. And just as each one of you is a Buddha, so is everyone else around you. That’s why it’s important to respect and treasure your fellow members to the utmost.
