How does the Foundation Program fulfill our own wishes?
By increasing our wisdom and our experience of Dharma. With wisdom and Dharma experience we can solve all the problems we encounter in daily life and we can protect ourselves from danger in the future. We can bring our deluded minds under control and reduce our attachment, anger, jealousy, and so forth, and subdue our self-grasping and self-cherishing. In this way we become our own protectors.

How does the Foundation Program fulfill others wishes?
If we increase our wisdom and Dharma experience we can give teachings and spiritual advice to others and set a good example for them to follow. We need to help others to overcome their ignorance and develop a good heart. By constantly maintaining a good heart, anyone can overcome their daily problems and, by gradually improving themselves, eventually they can attain a permanent inner peace with complete freedom from all suffering and danger.
