Don't be afraid of the future. The future is good.

Each moment of mindfulness is a moment of purification.

The Dhamma is not a collection of doctrinal formulas but a path leading to direct insight into the nature of reality.

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

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Through understanding emptiness, one does not become proud of one's virtues, just as one does not become proud of building a castle in the sky.

If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will have complete peace.

The path is not about perfecting ourselves, but about perfecting our love.

The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive in the present moment.

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

Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.

When things fall apart and we're on the verge of we know not what, the test of each of us is to stay on that brink and not concretize.

Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but recognizing that we are not our thoughts.

Meditation is not about trying to change ourselves. Meditation is about being aware of what is.

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.

When you note effectively, there is no time for defilements to arise. The mind becomes pure through noting.

If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence.

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don't accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace; if you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.

Self-awareness is the key to freedom. The more we understand ourselves, the more we understand how to be free.

If you want to climb a mountain, begin at the top.

Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.

The only thing that we truly have control over is our attitude toward experience.

In meditation, we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

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

When we develop patience, we find that we develop a reserve of calm and tranquility.

The practice of meditation is not about achieving states of bliss but about seeing things as they really are.

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

We can learn to be present with whatever is happening in our lives, and in this way, we can begin to transform our relationship to difficulty.

Meditation is not just about sitting quietly, it's about transforming the mind.

Our task is not to seek for love but to find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it.

When mindfulness and concentration are strong, insight into the three characteristics naturally unfolds.

Mindfulness is the gentle effort to be continuously present with experience.

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

In the moment of love, awareness is very strong. Use that awareness, that strength of consciousness, to look into yourself.

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.

Concentration is a cornerstone of mindfulness practice. Your mindfulness will only be as robust as your capacity to ground your attention in the present moment.

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

Hope and fear come from feeling that we lack something; they come from a sense of poverty. We can't simply relax with ourselves. We hold on to hope, and hope robs us of the present moment.

The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.

The essence of Buddhist practice is to bring everything onto the path. Every experience becomes an opportunity for awakening.

Mindfulness is the key to transformation. It enables us to see our experience as it really is, free from distortion and bias.

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

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness.

Our practice cannot be perfect, but without being discouraged by this, we should continue it. This is the secret of practice.

Knowledge must be stabilized by meditation. Without meditation, knowledge is like a child in battle.
