I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.

Being generous and kindly in speech, doing a good turn for others, and treating all alike. One like this will be praised.

Life is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won't play, if it is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle.

He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.

When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.

As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise.

Wear your ego like a loose fitting garment.
