— Tilopa
Love yourself and be awake – today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, then teach others, and so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked you must first do a harder thing – straighten yourself. You are the only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, and discover your master.
— Buddha
Mind’s nature is and always has been buddha. It has neither birth nor cessation, like space. When you realize the real meaning of the equal nature of all things, to remain in that state without searching is meditation.
— Garab Dorje
Ideally the ultimate retreat is to retreat from the past and the future, to always remain in the present.

Giving without expecting anything in return and bearing fruit in the future when the giver is in need of help.
The path is easy and simple. What is difficult and complicated is to continue suffering. Buddha Nature is not a seed, a potential, or a possibility, but rather a complete reality. There is nothing to build; nothing to elaborate.

“Happiness is determined more by one’s state of mind than by external events.”
— Dalai Lama
Profound and tranquil, free from complexity, uncompounded luminous clarity, beyond the mind of conceptual ideas; this is the depth of the mind of the Victorious Ones. In this there is not a thing to be removed, nor anything that needs to be added. It is merely the immaculate looking naturally at itself.
— Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche
