Landscapes have a language of their own, expressing the soul of the things, lofty or humble, which constitute them, from the mighty peaks to the smallest of the tiny flowers hidden in the meadow's grass.

"To fashion stars out of dog dung, that is the Great Work. To take a negative experience and, by comparing it to something worse, make it feel good, is the great skill."

To the one who knows how to look and feel, every moment of this free wandering life is an enchantment.

The wise expect nothing, hope for nothing, thus avoiding all disappointment and anxiety.

One must be very strong, or very stupid, or completely exhausted to face life with indifference.

There is nothing truly serious in life. All words sound hollow when one listens to them carefully.

The unsuspected is the daily fare of the traveler in Thibet.
