This is deathless: the liberation of the mind through lack of clinging.

Careful amidst the careless, amongst the sleeping wide-awake, the intelligent man leaves them all behind, like a race-horse does a mere hack.

Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.

How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.

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

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

Do not let pleasure distract you from meditation, from the way. Free yourself from pleasure and pain.
