Diligence always something to do with the Dharma, with understanding and with the mindfulness. To make it clearer, I think if we are being mindful for one minute, for example, then this minute we are diligent.
I hope that everyone will get the points and understand better and to arrange a better way for your life, for your Dharma path so that you will get benefits from Dharma practices.
And we have to have a good habit to practice diligently because our habits are not good. Because of our habits, I think we are pretty lazy and that’s true.
So, Peace and Peaceful group (laughed). It’s is a very beautiful title and even the meaning of that title is more beautiful and more important than anything else. I try to accomplish it, I try to be peaceful every day, every hour and every minute. At least, I’m trying. We have to try to be peaceful externally and internally, secretly; physically and mentally.
Tantrayana, the practice of Tantrayana is based on the Sutrayanas, on renunciation. Without strong pure renunciation, it is difficult to practice both Sutrayana and Tantrayana

We can divide it into three things to understand the nature of phenomena: the outer nature, the inner nature, and the secret nature of phenomena. And the outer nature of, for example, Samsara is suffering, and the renunciation taught in the Hinayana and Mahayana teachings.
This great secret teachings of Dzogpa Chenpo were kept in a secret way, not taught to the public very much; but according to some of the predictions given by Buddha Shakyamuni – and Vajrasattva and some deities saying that – there will be more people practicing Dzogpa Chenpa and it would be more obviously practiced by many lay people during the time like degeneration times like now and it is coming
We have to fix our habitual tendency to be lazy, right? (laugh) “I’ve been lazy and then to be more diligent.” Our laziness affects our practice, which makes it very, very, very slow and we are very forgetful (laughed). We forget to practice Dharma many times, many days. Therefore, we have to fix this problem.
