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

Peace and negativity cannot coexist just as light and darkness cannot coexist.

Every sensation shares the same characteristic - arising, passing. Arising, passing. Learn to observe objectively.

Misery ceases to exist when we stop reacting to sensations.

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

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

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

The technique of self-observation is the technique of observing the reality about oneself at the experiential level.

You are the master of your own mind. You can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

Craving and aversion are the roots of suffering. Observe them with equanimity.

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

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

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

Be happy at the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

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

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

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

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

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

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