To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening.

The mind that notes and the object that is noted are both impermanent. Understanding this leads to liberation.

The more we understand impermanence, the more we appreciate each moment of our lives.

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

The deepest form of happiness comes from discovering the natural peace of our own awareness.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

The nature of life is change. The nature of change is painful. The nature of pain is temporary.

Life is an art, and like perfect art it should be self-forgetting.

External phenomena are like a dream, whatever appears is not real. Recognize the nature of dream-like phenomena to be dream-like.

Like a dream, like an illusion, like a city of gandharvas, that's how birth, and that's how living, that's how dying are taught to be.

Enlightenment is not about becoming something special, but about realizing what we already are.

The heart of the path is quite simple. No need for long explanations. Give up clinging to love and hate, just rest with things as they are.

The willingness to empty ourselves and then seek our true nature is an expression of great and courageous love.

If you forget yourself, you become the universe.

The sign of wisdom is constant joy.

The purpose of life is to be happy, to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is not to be well known, cited, or powerful.

Expectations are the thieves of joy.

Emptiness is not nothingness. Emptiness is the space of possibility.

The instant you speak about a thing, you miss the mark.

You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.

The quality of every moment depends on the state of our minds.

Those who grasp at things as truly existent are like someone trying to catch the reflection of the moon in water.

What we call "I" is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale.

Wisdom is not about accumulating knowledge, but about seeing through all knowledge.

The truth of suffering is not to be feared but to be understood through direct observation.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

What we learn about the world is colored by the way we approach it.

Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.

Not knowing how near the truth is, we seek it far away.

We should find perfect existence through imperfect existence.

The essence of the teaching is emptiness and compassion. Without emptiness, compassion can become attachment. Without compassion, emptiness can become cold and distant.

The true person is not anyone in particular. But like the deep blue color of the limitless sky, it is everyone, everywhere in the world.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

The Buddha's teaching is not about belief but about investigation, not about accepting but about examining.

The teaching of the Buddha is based on two truths: conventional truth and ultimate truth. Without understanding the relationship between these two, the deeper meaning of the Buddha's teaching cannot be understood.

Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead, it's about becoming more fully human.

Recognize the emptiness of all phenomena, but do not become attached to emptiness itself.

Since all things are empty of inherent existence, anything is possible. If things had inherent existence, nothing would be possible.

Love is the wish that others be happy, and compassion is the wish that they be free from suffering.

The Noble Eightfold Path is not a path of mere intellectual understanding but a path of practice, of inner transformation.

In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.

Real happiness lies within. It cannot be found in external objects or achievements.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy. This is the goal of Buddhist practice.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

Real happiness comes from having an unshakable connection to the deep wellspring of peace and happiness that is not dependent on external conditions.

The eye with which I see Buddha is the same eye with which Buddha sees me.

The essence of all phenomena is empty and clear like space. The nature of mind is awareness-emptiness like the sun and sky.

The deepest happiness comes from having an enduring sense of purpose, one that gives our lives meaning beyond the endless pursuit of pleasure and success.

The goal of the Buddhist path is not to add something to our existence but to discover something that has been there all along.

The defilements of the mind are temporary visitors. Pure awareness is your true home.

The goal of Buddhist practice is not to escape from the world but to transform our relationship with it.

When we understand others, we understand ourselves. When we love others, we love ourselves.

The path to enlightenment is not a path at all. It is a realization that where you are is where you have always been.

The knowledge of dissolution comes when you see both the noting mind and noted object dissolving together.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

The past is just a memory. The future is just a dream. Be here now.

The time of the past becomes the present, the time of the present becomes the future, the time of the future becomes the present, and the time of the present becomes the past.

The secret of happiness is to want what you already have.
