The yogi's joy is in the solitude of mountains, where all distractions naturally dissolve into emptiness.

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

The mind that sees its own nature becomes free from all extremes.

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.

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

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

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

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

Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.

The practice of Dharma is a constant battle within oneself.

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

In the beginning, nothing comes, in the middle nothing stays, in the end nothing goes.

External seeking only leads to exhaustion. When you imitate others, you lose your own authenticity.

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

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.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

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

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

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

The experience of emptiness engenders compassion.
