Metta (loving-kindness) becomes truly effective only when it arises from a peaceful mind, a pure mind, a balanced mind.

Life is nothing but a continuous chain of sensations. Pleasant or unpleasant, observe them objectively.

You are the master of your own mind. You can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

A pure mind is always full of love - real love for all others.

Work diligently. Diligently. Work patiently and persistently. Patiently and persistently. And you're bound to be successful. Bound to be successful.

Every step on the path must be with the understanding of anicca - impermanence. This is the essence of the teaching.

Face your own anger and you will be free from anger. Face your own fears and you will be free from fear.

The technique of self-observation is the technique of observing the reality about oneself at the experiential level.

The entire path is a path of self-responsibility. Nobody else can walk it for you.

The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is universal.

Misery ceases to exist when we stop reacting to sensations.

Observe the reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.

May all beings be happy, be peaceful, be liberated.

Craving and aversion are the roots of suffering. Observe them with equanimity.

Sankharas are the seeds of consciousness that manifest as sensations. By observing sensations equanimously, we stop creating new sankharas.

Vipassana is the art of living. Not the art of escaping.

Nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change. Being is always becoming.

Be happy at the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

Understanding at the intellectual level is not enough. There must be experience at the actual level.

When you generate negativity, you are the first victim of your negativity.
