Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

There are two kinds of suffering. There is the suffering you run away from, which follows you everywhere. And there is the suffering you face directly, and so become free.

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

Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer see it, know it, and be empty. It's like a letter - you have to open it before you can know what's in it.

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

Time is our present breath.

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