Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger

Neither my life of luxury in the palace -nor- my life as ascetic in the forest were ways to enlightenment.

Right perspective is no perspective or all perspectives.

Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
