Neither from itself nor from another, nor from both, nor without a cause, does anything whatever, anywhere arise.

The nature of everything is illusory and ephemeral, those with dualistic perception regard suffering as happiness, like they who lick the honey from a razor's edge.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

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

Life is like a cup of tea. It's all in how you make it.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.

The root of all mind is your own present pure awareness. Rest in that essence without seeking elsewhere.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

Don't try to push away the darkness. Just light a lamp. The darkness will disappear by itself.

Don't be afraid of the future. The future is good.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.

Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious.

When the heart is still, it can be kind. When the mind is still, it can see clearly.

Meditation is not an escape from life but a way to fully engage with life.

The practice of ethics is not about following rules but about developing inner purity and freedom.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.

The Buddha's teaching is a middle way between all extremes, between eternalism and annihilationism, between self-indulgence and self-torture.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived, how well we have loved, how well we have learned to let go.

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

Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

In the moment of love, awareness is very strong. Use that awareness, that strength of consciousness, to look into yourself.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who does not practice it.

When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

In meditation, we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.

Study the Buddha's teaching which is present in every moment.

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.

Live in joy, in love, even among those who hate. Live in joy, in health, even among the afflicted. Live in joy, in peace, even among the troubled. Look within, be still.
