Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.

There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.

The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Whatever grounds there are for making merit productive of a future birth, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the liberation of mind by loving-kindness. The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them and shines forth, bright and brilliant.

As you travel though life, offer good wishes to each being you meet.
