"每個人都要工作以維持生計，可是當謀生成了生活唯一的焦點和首要考慮的事，問題便會發生。當我們活着是為了賺錢，而不是為過活而賺錢，放縱和貪婪這些問題便會出現。我們其實還需要其他形式的財富，它們並非用以維生，而是支持和啓發我們的心靈。" - 第十七世噶瑪巴大寶法王泰耶多傑
"Every individual has to work to survive, but when earning a living becomes the exclusive focus and priority of one's life, problems can arise. When we live to earn rather than earn to live, there can be problems of excess and greed. However, there are also other forms of wealth, required not just to sustain the physical body, but to sustain and develop our mind." - the 17th Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje
