Anytime you have a negative feeling toward anyone, you're living in an illusion. There's something seriously wrong with you. You're not seeing reality. Something inside of you has to change. But what do we generally do when we have a negative feeling? "He is to blame, she is to blame. She's got to change." No! The world's all right. The one who has to change is you.

Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.

Suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth.

The day you are happy for no reason whatsoever, the day you find yourself taking delight in everything and in nothing, you will know that you have found the land of unending joy called the kingdom.

Those who make no mistakes are making the biggest mistakes of all - they are attempting nothing new.
