When we sit in meditation and hear a sound, we think, 'Oh, that sound's bothering me.' If we see it like this, we suffer. But if we investigate a little deeper, we see that the sound is simply sound. If we understand like this, then there's nothing more to it. We leave it be. The sound is just sound, why should you go and grab it? You see that actually it was you who went out and disturbed the sound.

All religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don't see it have no light in their hearts.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

If you are still following your likes and dislikes, you have not even begun to practise Dhamma.

If it isn't good, let it die. If it doesn't die, make it good.

To give up doing evil is more important than making merit.

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