真實和勇氣的生起，使得我們了解佛法的核心真髓。
~~ Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche
佛法的真髓在於真實對待自己〈自己的內在自性〉，並且盡己之力保持勇氣。當真實和行於真實道上之勇氣與觀照相會，行者才算真正開始修持佛法。在我們生起這些真實和勇氣的特質之前，我們仍然容易受害於我們自己的虛偽和造作。
真實和勇氣的生起，使得我們了解佛法的核心真髓。對此未能了解，會導致我們進入無盡的輪迴陷阱。缺乏勇氣，則讓我們無法真實面對自己的佛性。
善行或不善行皆由心所造。行動儘管看來較為明顯，卻是在我們的動機之後。即使是明顯為善的行動，若我們發心的根本為自私，其利益只有極少。任何以智慧和無私為動機所做的行為，都是我們自身佛性的一個展現。
The essence of Dharma lies in being true to oneself (one's innate nature) and in exerting great effort to be courageous. When truth and the courage to walk on the path of truth are joined with mindfulness, a practitioner truly begins to practice the dharma. Until these qualities of truth and courage are generated, we will be vulnerable to our own pretenses and fabrications.
The arising of truth and courage allows us to realize the core essence of dharma. Not understanding this leads us into the trap of endless cyclic existence. A lack of courage keeps us from being true to our Budhha nature.
Both virtuous and nonvirtuous actions are formed in the mind. Actions—though more apparent – are secondary to our motivation. Even an apparently virtuous action is of little benefit if the root of our motivation is selfishness. Any action performed with wisdom and selfless motivation is an expression of our own Buddha nature. (Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal. )
