It is our mind, and that alone, that chains us or sets us free.

Your practice should be strengthened by the difficult situations you encounter, just as a bonfire in a strong wind is not blown out, but blazes even brighter.

Life is fragile, like the dew hanging delicately on the grass, crystal drops that will be carried away on the first morning breeze.

It is our mind, and that alone, that chains us or sets us free.

On the day that you were born, you began to die. Do not waste a single moment more!

May the suffering of all beings be pacified.

A beautiful country is a dream-like illusion. It is senseless to cling to it. Unless the inner forces of negative emotions are conquered, strife with outer enemies will never end.
