Never forget how swiftly this life will be over, like a flash of summer lightning or the wave of a hand. Now that you have the opportunity to practice dharma, do not waste a single moment on anything else.

Sentient beings, self and others, enemies and dear ones-all are made by thoughts. It is like seeing a rope and mistaking it for a snake. When we think that the rope is a snake, we are scared, but once we see that we are looking at a rope, our fear dissipates. We have been deluded by our thoughts. Likewise, mentally fabricating self and others, we generate attachment and aversion.

To wish happiness for others, even for those who want to do us harm, is the source of consummate happiness.

...with the power of compassion there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

Love and nonattachment are the basis of true generosity.

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

Simply allow your thoughts and experiences to come and go, without ever grasping at them.
