Your own treasure house contains everything you need; why search outside?

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

The law of nature is the law of cause and effect. As you sow, so shall you reap.

Should you desire the great tranquility, prepare to sweat white beads.

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

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

When we rest in awareness, we discover a peace that is always present, regardless of circumstances.

The more you give, the more you have. That's the economics of kindness.

Meditation is the road to happiness.

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

Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.

True peace comes not from controlling the world, but from letting go of control.

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.

Meditation is not about escaping from difficulty but about meeting it with awareness.

Love is not a feeling. It's a capability.

Every moment of mindfulness is a step on the path to liberation. Each step is valuable, no matter how small.

Life is like stepping onto a boat which is about to sail out to sea and sink.

Craving and aversion are the roots of suffering. Observe them with equanimity.

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

The purpose of studying Buddhism is not to study Buddhism, but to study ourselves.

You are the master of your own mind. You can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

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

Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is awakened.

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

The path of practice moves from faith through understanding to direct realization.

Each moment of noting is a moment of purification, a moment of cultivating the path.

The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

Don't expect or desire anything. Just keep noting whatever arises in the present moment.

The purpose of meditation is not to create a mental vacuum but to come to know one's own mind.

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

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
