When we know the truth, we become people who don't have to think much, we become people with wisdom.

You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can't solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth - inside, not outside.

Don't think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking.

The heart of one who practices is like the earth. No matter what they throw on it, the earth remains unchanged.

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.

If it isn't good, let it die. If it doesn't die, make it good.

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.

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.

If you want to find peace, then look at that point where you find you're dissatisfied and investigate what's really going on.

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 mind is intrinsically empty. It's empty of all that we perceive as being intrinsically "me" and "mine."

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: you won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.

Meditation is like catching a fish. If you try to catch it quickly, you'll miss it. If you have patience and know how to wait, the fish will come.

The Buddha taught us to leave alone the things that don't lead to awakening.

The water in the ocean can be rough or calm. It can be clear or murky. But the water itself doesn't mind.

If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer.

Our defilements are like tame tigers. If you feed them, they're tame. If you stop feeding them, they'll eat you up.

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

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

Don't be a bodhisatta; don't be an arahant; don't be anything at all. Being something makes you suffer.
