Your suffering is my suffering and your happiness is my happiness.

If dresses would have qualified people, then whores would have ruled the world.

We are what we think.

What I know is like the leaves on that tree; what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to all with an open hand. What do I not teach? Whatever is fascinating to discuss, divides people against each other, but has no bearing on putting an end to sorrow. What do I teach? Only what is necessary to take you to the other shore.

Let all-embracing thoughts for all beings be yours.

I know what I gave them; I don't know what they received.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.
