Both formerly and now, it is only suffering that I describe, and the cessation of suffering.

There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.

Your enemy can be your greatest teacher.

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.

He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.

Hatred is never ended by hatred but by love.
