Know and watch your heart. It's pure but emotions come to colour it.

There are people who are born and die and never once are aware of their breath going in and out of their body. That's how far away they live from themselves

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.

Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.

When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything.

The Dhamma has to sink deeply into the mind so that whatever we do, the mind has always goodness within it. All the ways of making merit are aiming at this. Goodness lies in the right view that is established in the mind. Then we don't have to celebrate it or let anybody know about it, simply let the mind have firm confidence in the goodness and keep going like this.

The mind of one who practises doesn't run away anywhere, it stays right there. Good, evil, happiness and unhappiness, right and wrong arise, and he knows them all. The meditator simply knows them, they don't enter his mind. That is, he has no clinging. He is simply the experiencer.
