Maintain the state of undistractedness and distractions will fly away.

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

The essence of mind is empty like space; yet it contains all things, like a mirror.

The teaching is simple: act with kindness and compassion. If you cannot do this, at least try not to harm others.

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

The goal of meditation is not to reach some highest place, but to remain in the place where you already are.

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

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

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

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

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

To be attached to a thing means that mind and the thing meet and grow into each other.

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.

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

In the gap between thoughts, nonconceptual wisdom shines continuously.

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

The cave I live in is empty and so is my mind. I live simply and at ease.

When I run from suffering, it follows me. When I face suffering with equanimity, it runs from me.

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.

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