In my youth I studied, in my prime I practiced, now all my doubts are cleared.

The practice of Dharma is a constant battle within oneself.

The nature of mind is clearer than the sky, yet we keep looking elsewhere.

Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.

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

Faith is the firm foundation, diligence the supporting pillar, and wisdom the roof of the house of practice.

All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death.

Better to have one moment of genuine meditation than to perform religious activities for a thousand years.

To be attached to a thing means that mind and the thing meet and grow into each other.

Maintain the state of undistractedness and distractions will fly away.

The cave I live in is empty and so is my mind. I live simply and at ease.

The dharma is not in the books. If you want to find the dharma, look in your mind.

The mind itself is the maker of all happiness and misery; yet beings do not understand this and blame external conditions.

The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation.

The six realms of existence are like a dream, why build a prison for yourself?

The goal of meditation is not to reach some highest place, but to remain in the place where you already are.

The highest mantra is to be without deception. The highest medicine is to have few desires. The highest meditation is not to be attached.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick. Every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower.

If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; if you want to know your future life, look into your present actions.
