The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.

Don't keep searching for the truth, just let go of your opinions.

In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

All descriptions of reality are temporary hypotheses.

The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness.

Surely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.
