Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.

Those who are truly wise will remain unmoved by feelings of happiness and suffering, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, gain and loss.They will remain calm like the eye of a hurricane.

There is one thing that, when cultivated and regularly practiced, leads to deep spiritual intention, to peace, to mindfulness and clear comprehension, to vision and knowledge, to a happy life here and now, and to the culmination of wisdom and awakening. And what is that one thing? It is mindfulness centred on the body

Peace comes from within; do not try to seek it without.

Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.

True and lasting inner peace can never be found in external things. It can only be found within in. And then, once we find and nurture it with ourselves, it radiates outward.

If a man does what is good, let him do it again; let him delight in it; happiness is the outcome of good.
