All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.

When your mind is set in meditative equipoise, you can see reality exactly as it is

Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.

Few are those among men who have crossed over to the other shore, while the rest of mankind runs along the bank. However those who follow the principles of the well-taught Truth will cross over to the other shore, out of the dominion of Death, hard though it is to escape.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.

Let go of anger. Let go of pride. When you are bound by nothing You go beyond sorrow.
