The masters only point the way. But if you meditate And follow the dharma You will free yourself from desire. 'Everything arises and passes away.' When you see this, you are above sorrow. This is the shining way.

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

He who never thinks of anything as 'mine' does not feel the lack of anything: he is never worried by a sense of loss.

Do not learn how to react. Learn how to respond.

Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.

If we destroy something around us we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourselves.

Household life is crowded and dusty; life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.
