Dudjom Rinpoche : Outwardly, be persevering, and know how to live in harmony with everyone without being annoying."

"Do not take as true anything others say, good or bad: 
Do not regard it with hope or fear; do not affirm or deny it. 
Allow others to say whatever they like, as if they are talking about a corpse. 
Except for a qualified Lama, no one can give correct advice, not even your father or mother. 
Be the judge of your actions and do not let others lead you around by the nose. 
Outwardly, be persevering, and know how to live in harmony with everyone without being annoying."
- Dudjom Rinpoche
