External phenomena are like a dream, whatever appears is not real. Recognize the nature of dream-like phenomena to be dream-like.

The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is that buddhas recognize their nature while sentient beings fail to recognize it.

The dharma is not outside of you. Looking for it elsewhere is like placing a Buddha on your head while searching for him everywhere else.

The supreme path is not to fabricate anything. The supreme meditation is not to be distracted.

Do not mistake understanding for realization, and do not mistake realization for liberation.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

The nature of mind is like a mirror. It is not affected by whatever appears in it, yet it never fails to reflect everything perfectly.

To see directly is to be free of hope and fear. Hope and fear are like a cloud before the sun.

In the moment of love, awareness is very strong. Use that awareness, that strength of consciousness, to look into yourself.

The everyday practice is simply to develop complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions.

Past thoughts are traceless, clear, and empty. Future thoughts are unborn and fresh. The present moment abides naturally and unconstructed.

My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra. My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantabhadri. I belong to the caste of non-duality of these two.

In the moment of anger, abandon anger but not the person. In the moment of attachment, abandon attachment but not the person.

Recognize the emptiness of all phenomena, but do not become attached to emptiness itself.

The view is like a lion - it cannot be led around by anything else. Meditation is like an eagle - it cannot be distracted by anything else. Action is like a madman - it is free from accepting and rejecting.

Knowledge must be stabilized by meditation. Without meditation, knowledge is like a child in battle.

Devotion is the head of meditation, as is often said. When you are inspired by some spiritual teacher, you can have a very strong connection with that person, and thereby the blessings can enter.

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

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.

Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour.
