The forest is peaceful, why aren’t you? You hold on to things causing your confusion. Let nature teach you. Hear the bird’s song then let go. If you know nature, you’ll know truth. If you know truth, you’ll know nature.

If you have time to be mindful, you have time to meditate.

When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness. And when we stop clinging, we can begin to be happy.

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.

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

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

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