Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side.

A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.

The root of suffering is attachment

Make of yourself a light.

Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.

Doing the good deeds is like the grass in the garden. You don't see its growth. But, it does by days. Doing the wicked deeds is like the hone. You don't see its damage. But, it does by days.

Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
