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

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

In my youth I studied, in my prime I practiced, now all my doubts are cleared.

All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death.

The lamp of wisdom burns constantly, illuminating the nature of mind.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

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

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 most profound meditation is to think nothing at all.

The practitioner and practice are like fire and wood. The more you practice, the more you burn.

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

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The snow lion stays in the mountains, and the snow lion's ways are the snow lion's ways.

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

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

Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.

The nature of everything is illusory and ephemeral, those with dualistic perception regard suffering as happiness, like they who lick the honey from a razor's edge.

If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; if you want to know your future life, look into your present actions.

The practice of Dharma is a constant battle within oneself.

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.
