There is no difference at all between samsara and nirvana. There is no difference at all between nirvana and samsara.

The root of all suffering is ignorance. The antidote to ignorance is wisdom that realizes emptiness.

For whom emptiness is possible, everything is possible. For whom emptiness is not possible, nothing is possible.

If I had any position, I would thereby have a flaw. But since I have no position, I alone am without flaw.

Things derive their being and nature by mutual dependence and are nothing in themselves.

By understanding emptiness, one understands all phenomena. Without understanding emptiness, one understands nothing.

Whatever is dependently co-arisen, that is explained to be emptiness. That, being a dependent designation, is itself the middle way.

Those who understand interdependent origination understand suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.

The highest truth cannot be taught except through the conventional truth.

Like a dream, like an illusion, like a city of gandharvas, that's how birth, and that's how living, that's how dying are taught to be.

Through understanding emptiness, one does not become proud of one's virtues, just as one does not become proud of building a castle in the sky.

When you realize the emptiness of all phenomena, compassion will arise in your heart for all sentient beings who do not understand this truth.

The essence of the teaching is emptiness and compassion. Without emptiness, compassion can become attachment. Without compassion, emptiness can become cold and distant.

When one sees with wisdom that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence, one is liberated from suffering.

The one who grasps at existence suffers in samsara, while the one who grasps at non-existence will find no liberation.

Although all phenomena are empty of inherent existence, they function perfectly well.

Since all things are empty of inherent existence, anything is possible. If things had inherent existence, nothing would be possible.

Neither from itself nor from another, nor from both, nor without a cause, does anything whatever, anywhere arise.

The person who clings to nothing of the past, present and future, who has no attachment and no aversion, has no conceptual imprints.

Those who grasp at things as truly existent are like someone trying to catch the reflection of the moon in water.
