The six realms of existence are like a dream, why build a prison for yourself?

The most important thing in life is to know death is coming and to prepare for it.

The yogi's joy is in the solitude of mountains, where all distractions naturally dissolve into emptiness.

In the beginning, nothing comes, in the middle nothing stays, in the end nothing goes.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

The mind is the source of all happiness and the source of all suffering.

The precious pot containing my riches becomes my teacher in the very moment it breaks.

The mind itself is the maker of all happiness and misery; yet beings do not understand this and blame external conditions.

Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.

The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation.

Better to have one moment of genuine meditation than to perform religious activities for a thousand years.

In the gap between thoughts, nonconceptual wisdom shines continuously.

The most profound meditation is to think nothing at all.

The highest mantra is to be without deception. The highest medicine is to have few desires. The highest meditation is not to be attached.

The nature of mind is clearer than the sky, yet we keep looking elsewhere.

The dharma is not in the books. If you want to find the dharma, look in your mind.

The mind that sees its own nature becomes free from all extremes.

The only things that are truly mine are my actions and their results.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick. Every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower.

The practice of Dharma is a constant battle within oneself.
