The Five Mantras

Darling, I am here for you.
Darling, I know you are there, and I am very happy.
Darling, I know you suffer, that is why I am here for you.
(for another day, intended for adults)
This moment is a moment of happiness.

Three Doors of Liberation

The Door of Aimlessness: do not sacrifice the path for the goal; each step, each breath is already the realization.
The Door of Signlessness: do not be deceived by appearances, see the continuity (cloud / rain, paper / smoke) and transcend birth and death.
The Door of Emptiness (śūnyatā): the lotus flower is full of the cosmos but empty of a separate existence; nothing can exist by itself, everything inter-is.
