Nothing is to be clung to as I, me or mine

There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.

For those struggling in midstream, in great fear of the flood, of growing old and of dying for all those I say, an island exists where there is no place for impediments, no place for clinging: the island of no going beyond. I call it nirvana, the complete destruction of old age and dying.

Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do.

Overcome your uncertainties and free yourself from dwelling on sorrow. When you delight in existence, you will awaken, and become a guide to those in need, revealing the path to many.

Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may escape from the results of evil deeds.

As soon as we think we are safe, something unexpected happens.
