Karmapa Thaye Dorje on the Teacher and the Dharma

Please make a lot of pure aspirations, as much as possible, to be able to meet with great teachers - not just in one lifetime, but in one lifetime after another, after another. And with your effort, I am sure you will be able to do it. Make aspirations, like the king of the aspirations, Shantideva's aspirations, or Maitreya's aspirations, always continuously - then all of your wishes will come true.

Your true friend, though, is none other than the Buddha dharma. There is no other. If you lose the Buddha dharma, then that's it, you have lost everything. So please, please, please don't lose the Buddha dharma, because impermanence is just around the corner.
