Be born anewfrom Awakening The Lord Within by Lama Surya Das

Every day is lucky day for an industrious man

Fools wait for a lucky day
but every day is a luck day
for an industrious man.

To the welfare of all

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.
But whatever, after due examination and analysis,
you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -
that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
