Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.

When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.

Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.

As a bee gathering nectar does not harm or disturb the color & fragrance of the flower; so do the wise move through the world.

There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust Are your greatest possessions, And freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

The easiest beneficence is a smile. The simplest release is to have a vegetarian meal.

Nirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. There’s nowhere to go. There’s nothing else to be. There’s no destination. It’s not something to aim for in the afterlife. It’s simply the quality of this moment.
