We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.

Attachment is the source of all suffering.

Everything that happens to us is the result of what we ourselves have thought, said, or done.We alone are responsible for our lives.

There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.

Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.

Joy and openness come from our own contented heart.
