The heart is just the heart; thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be just as they are.

When we conquer ourselves, then everything will be conquered: oneself, others, and all the sense objects as well, coming in by way of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body -- it will all get conquered like this.

Practicing meditation is just like breathing. While working we breathe, while sleeping we breathe, while sitting down we breathe... Why do we have time to breathe? Because we see the importance of the breath, we can always find time to breathe. In the same way, if we see the importance of meditation practice we will find the time to practice.

The serene and peaceful mind is the true epitome of human achievement.

At some point your heart will tell itself what to do.

To practice Dhamma means to observe and examine oneself.

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