Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don't accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace; if you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.

Right practice is steady practice. Whether you feel lazy or diligent, just keep practicing.

If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will have complete peace.

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

The mind is intrinsically empty. It's empty of all that we perceive as being intrinsically "me" and "mine."

If you want to understand suffering, you must look into the situation at hand. The teachings say that wherever a problem arises it must be settled right there.

If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer.

Meditation is like catching a fish. If you try to catch it quickly, you'll miss it. If you have patience and know how to wait, the fish will come.

Try to be mindful and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool.

The Buddha taught us to leave alone the things that don't lead to awakening.

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

Our defilements are like tame tigers. If you feed them, they're tame. If you stop feeding them, they'll eat you up.

The heart of one who practices is like the earth. No matter what they throw on it, the earth remains unchanged.

Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer, see it, know it, be empty.

When we know the truth, we become people who don't have to think much, we become people with wisdom.

Whatever we do, we should see ourselves. Reading books doesn't show us our defilements. Watch yourself. Watch your mind.

Don't think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking.

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

Don't be a bodhisatta; don't be an arahant; don't be anything at all. Being something makes you suffer.

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