When you let go of trying to control everything, you can relax and enjoy life.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay.

In my youth I studied, in my prime I practiced, now all my doubts are cleared.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

The path is the goal. Every step of the journey is the journey.

Peace in oneself, peace in the world.

The movement of love is what creates the beauty in our lives.

Where is the place that your original face has not yet emerged?

All experiences are preceded by mind, having mind as their master, created by mind.

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.

Devotion is the head of meditation, as is often said. When you are inspired by some spiritual teacher, you can have a very strong connection with that person, and thereby the blessings can enter.

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person's suffering and bring that person joy.

Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life.

Each of you is perfect the way you are... and you can use a little improvement.

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.

Through continuous mindfulness practice, the true nature of physical and mental phenomena becomes clear.

The Buddha's teaching is not a philosophy or a religion; it is a method of practice.

Our true nature is like a diamond - pure, brilliant, and indestructible. No matter how much dirt covers it, its essential nature remains unchanged.

The past is for learning from, not for living in.

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

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

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer, see it, know it, be empty.

The mind is the forerunner of all things. Our present life is the result of our past thoughts, and our future life will be the result of our present thoughts.

Whoever told you that practice and enlightenment are separate?

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.

Impermanence, suffering, and non-self are not philosophical concepts but realities to be directly perceived through mindfulness practice.

Don't take life too seriously. No one gets out alive anyway.

The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are out there.

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

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

The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet.
