He who has renounced all violence towards all living beings, weak or strong, who neither kills nor causes others to kill - him I do call a holy man.

For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.

In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.

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

Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.

Be the witness of your thoughts.

If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.
