Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

All things that are born must die. Work hard for your own freedom from sorrow.

The only way to bring peace to the earth is to learn to make our own life peaceful.

Nirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. There’s nowhere to go. There’s nothing else to be. There’s no destination. It’s not something to aim for in the afterlife. It’s simply the quality of this moment.

There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.

Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.

The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage! Like the apparent distances in a picture, things have no reality in themselves, but they are like heat haze.
