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

Because you are alive, everything is possible.

Not by hatred is hatred conquered, but by love alone. This is an eternal law.

The key to meditation is to recognize the nature of your mind rather than trying to change it.

Peace in oneself, peace in the world.

The precious pot containing my riches becomes my teacher in the very moment it breaks.

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

The greatest obstacle to meditation is our expectation about what it should be.

The role of Zen is neither to stand above life nor to run away from it, but to face it with a spirit of determination.

Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

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

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

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.

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.

As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who does not practice it.

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

We practice to learn how to let go, not how to increase our holding on to things.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose.

Every moment is a fresh beginning. Every breath is a new chance.

Happiness is found in the simplest of things. It is not in the things you own, but in the love you share.

The more precisely you note, the more clearly you understand. The more clearly you understand, the stronger your insight becomes.

The mind has first to be attuned to the Unconscious.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax.

Peace and negativity cannot coexist just as light and darkness cannot coexist.

Mindfulness is the key to the present moment. Without it we cannot see the world clearly, and we cannot make the wisest choices in our lives.

My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra. My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantabhadri. I belong to the caste of non-duality of these two.

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

When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point.

The practice of Zen is forgetting the self in the act of uniting with something.

Loving-kindness is not something we need to manufacture. It's a natural expression of our awakened nature.

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
