The dharma wheel turns from the beginning. There is neither excess nor deficiency. The whole universe is moistened with nectar, and the truth is ready to harvest.

When we rest in awareness, we discover a peace that is always present, regardless of circumstances.

The root of suffering is resisting the certainty that no matter what the circumstances, uncertainty is all we truly have.

The root of suffering is attachment.

The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

When you love someone, you have to have trust and confidence. Love without trust is not yet love.

Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.

Dependent origination is not a theory about the origin of the world but a teaching that shows how suffering originates in dependence on our own mental processes.

The root of happiness is altruism — the wish to be of service to others.

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.

When you understand one thing through and through, you understand everything. When you try to understand everything, you will not understand anything.

The practice of meditation is not about achieving states of bliss but about seeing things as they really are.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax.

Liberation is found in the practice, not in the theory.

The Buddha's teachings are not about abandoning our lives but about bringing the fullness of our attention to our lives.

Meditation is the road to happiness.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

The obstacle is the path.

The practice is like peeling an onion. Layer after layer of delusion is removed through continuous mindfulness.

Instead of having a deep understanding of the teaching, we need a strong confidence in our teaching, which says that originally we have Buddha nature.

The precious pot containing my riches becomes my teacher in the very moment it breaks.

If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence.

What we learn about the world is colored by the way we approach it.

The root of suffering is not in the world outside us but in our own minds.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

True freedom is not the absence of commitment but the presence of choice.

The most profound meditation is to think nothing at all.

Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
