We deal with our mind from morning until evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

Everybody has the light of Buddha within, but they don't look for it.

Just as parents care for their children, you should bear in mind the whole universe.

Your mind is like a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.

When mindfulness and concentration are strong, insight into the three characteristics naturally unfolds.

When we understand others, we understand ourselves. When we love others, we love ourselves.

Just observe whatever arises. Don't try to create anything, and don't reject anything.

Meditation is the road to happiness.

To see directly is to be free of hope and fear. Hope and fear are like a cloud before the sun.

When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point.

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

The force of the kindness of others is so strong, we can't possibly measure it.

The teaching is simple: act with kindness and compassion. If you cannot do this, at least try not to harm others.

The law of nature is the law of cause and effect. As you sow, so shall you reap.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Liberation is not found by running away from our experience but by looking deeply into it.

Every moment of mindfulness is a step on the path to liberation. Each step is valuable, no matter how small.

The perfect moment is this one, not the one you're waiting for.

The Buddha's teaching challenges us to master the art of living, to live in a way that leads to the extinction of suffering.

The goal of meditation is not to achieve a blank mind, but to gain insight into the nature of mind itself.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

The essence of mind is empty like space; yet it contains all things, like a mirror.

The mind is like a wild monkey, jumping here and there. But through meditation, we learn to see whatever arises in our mind with more spaciousness and clarity.

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

It is never too late to turn on the light.

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken.

Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but recognizing that we are not our thoughts.

The three characteristics - impermanence, suffering, and non-self - are not philosophical concepts but aspects of experience to be directly observed.

The essence of Buddhist practice is to bring everything onto the path. Every experience becomes an opportunity for awakening.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.

Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.
