Metta (loving-kindness) becomes truly effective only when it arises from a peaceful mind, a pure mind, a balanced mind.

When you generate negativity, you are the first victim of your negativity.

The past is gone, the future is not yet here. Live in the present moment with awareness.

Sankharas are the seeds of consciousness that manifest as sensations. By observing sensations equanimously, we stop creating new sankharas.

Equanimity is not indifference. It is the balanced state of mind.

Change is the nature of every phenomenon. Accept this truth and you will live a happy life.

Start from where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change. Being is always becoming.

May all beings be happy, be peaceful, be liberated.

The entire path is a path of self-responsibility. Nobody else can walk it for you.

Life is nothing but a continuous chain of sensations. Pleasant or unpleasant, observe them objectively.

Observe the reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.

Every step on the path must be with the understanding of anicca - impermanence. This is the essence of the teaching.

Vipassana is the art of living. Not the art of escaping.

The only way to experience truth is to look within, to observe oneself.

Real happiness lies within. It cannot be found in external objects or achievements.

The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is universal.

A pure mind is always full of love - real love for all others.

The law of nature is the law of cause and effect. As you sow, so shall you reap.

Work diligently. Diligently. Work patiently and persistently. Patiently and persistently. And you're bound to be successful. Bound to be successful.
