With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.

You have to do your own work; Enlightened Ones will only show the way. Those who practise meditation will free themselves from the chains of death

But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.

You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.

Never in the world does hatred cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love.

If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.

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
