Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Live in joy, in love, even among those who hate. Live in joy, in health, even among the afflicted. Live in joy, in peace, even among the troubled. Look within, be still.

Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.

As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Nothing can harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.

Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side.

Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.

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

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

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

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.

What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now.

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