Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.

There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

Truths cannot be acquired from words out of other people's mouths. Before Truths can be internalized, they must come from one's own realizations and practices. Through a lifetime of personal practice, human beings are capable of revealing all of the secrets of the cosmic essence. You are your own best judge.

Born out of concern for all beings.

Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!

Know what you do not know.

Suffering is wishing things were other than they are.
