When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.

When you begin to see that your enemy is suffering, that is the beginning of insight.

Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer evil with good. Conquer stinginess with giving. Conquer deceit with truth.

Our basic nature is pure awareness that simply cognizes experience. Everything else is temporary and adventitious.

When you note effectively, there is no time for defilements to arise. The mind becomes pure through noting.

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