It is not a means to an ends, but the ends itself.

This means that we are ultimately free. However, if we expect certainty and fixedness from life, then impermanence is also bad news. Buddhism teaches us how to stop clinging and accept things just as they are--free from both bad and good.

Our minds and the minds of all Buddhas are fundamentally identical.

It's simply our picking and choosing minds that distract us from this point.

Just as we eat to eat and sleep to sleep, we practice to practice--not to gain patience or lose stress.
