The mind is the source of all happiness and the source of all suffering.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

The practice of Dharma is a constant battle within oneself.

Maintain the state of undistractedness and distractions will fly away.

In the gap between thoughts, nonconceptual wisdom shines continuously.

The most important thing in life is to know death is coming and to prepare for it.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

The signs of practice are not in extraordinary experiences but in extraordinary awareness of ordinary experiences.

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

The only things that are truly mine are my actions and their results.

The practitioner and practice are like fire and wood. The more you practice, the more you burn.

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

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

The snow lion stays in the mountains, and the snow lion's ways are the snow lion's ways.

The lamp of wisdom burns constantly, illuminating the nature of mind.

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