Happiness and suffering do not depend on being poor or rich, they depend on having the right or wrong understanding in our mind.

Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened. When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

People go through life blindly, ignoring death like revellers at a party feasting on fine foods. They ignore that later they will have to go to the toilet, so they do not bother to find out where there is one. When nature finally calls, they have no idea where to go and are in a mess.

Sati is life. Whenever we don't have sati, when we are heedless, it's as if we are dead.

If you let go completely you will have complete peace.

The Dharma Path is to keep walking forward. But the true Dharma has no going forward, no going backward, and no standing still.
