Whatever is truly alive must die. Look at the flowers; only plastic flowers never die.

All that you give to others you are giving to yourself.

Think of a flabby person covered with layers of fat. That is what your mind can become - flabby, covered with layers of fat till it becomes too dull and lazy to think, to observe, to explore, to discover ... not wanting to be disturbed or questioned into wakefulness.

If you don't look at things through your concepts, you'll never be bored. Every single thing is unique.

If you search within your heart, you will find something there that will make it possible for you to understand: a spark of disenchantment and discontent, which if fanned into flame will become a raging forest fire that will burn up the whole of the illusory world you are living in, thereby unveiling to your wondering eyes the kingdom that you have always lived in unsuspectingly.

All conflict comes from attachment.

Enlightenment is: absolute cooperation with the inevitable.
