Those who understand interdependent origination understand suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.

At the bottom of great doubt lies great awakening. If you doubt fully, you will awaken fully.

When you are you, Zen is Zen. Big mind is just big mind.

The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.

The key to the Buddha's teaching is not grasping, not trying to hold onto things that are essentially impermanent and unstable.

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.

Short moments, many times. That is the essence of meditation practice.

Suffering comes from our resistance to what is. Peace comes from our acceptance of what is.

The essence of mind is empty like space; yet it contains all things, like a mirror.

Mindfulness is attention to life, and life itself is sacred.

There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

The key to transformation is not to fight with our experience but to open to it with awareness.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.

The everyday practice is simply to develop complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions.

The goal of meditation is not to achieve a blank mind, but to gain insight into the nature of mind itself.

The path of practice requires both faith and wisdom, both devotion and understanding.

All experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with a corrupted mind, and suffering follows as the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

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

In the spiritual world there are no time divisions such as the past, present and future; for they have contracted themselves into a single moment of the present where life quivers in its true sense.

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

Nothing we see or hear is perfect. But right there in the imperfection is perfect reality.

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

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