All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.
He who never thinks of anything as 'mine' does not feel the lack of anything: he is never worried by a sense of loss.
How wonderful! How wonderful! All things are perfect, exactly as they are.
"All is passing". When one realises this, he sits loose to this world of sorrow : This is the way of purity.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
How easy it is to see your brother's faults, How hard it is to face your own.
Rely on the teaching, not on the person; Rely on the meaning, not on the words; Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional; Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
Consider Others as Yourself.
The right time to show your good character is when you are pestered by someone weaker than you.
You are your own master, you make your own future. Therefore discipline yourself as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger... Let a man overcome anger by love.
If you find someone with wisdom, good judgment, and good actions; make him a companion.
When we free ourselves of desire, we will know serenity and freedom.
Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others
You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.
Within this moment, the only moment that exists, the past, present and future are contained.
You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.
All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
Your enemy can be your greatest teacher.
It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.
True love is born from understanding.
We are the same as plants, as trees, as other people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything.
More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
At the end of the way is freedom. Until then, patience.
Let your mind become clear like a still forest pool.
