Day by day, be content with whatever you have and satisfied with whatever happens. Everything else will then fall naturally into place.

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

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.

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.

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

Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts. What good does it do to brood on the past or anticipate the future? Remain in the simplicity of the present moment.

Day by day, be content with whatever you have and satisfied with whatever happens. Everything else will then fall naturally into place.
