Dispassion is the best of mental states. . . .

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice.

In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.

Attachment is the source of all suffering.
