Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do.

The tongue like a sharp knife ... Kills without drawing blood.

Live joyfully, without desire.

Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind. If a man speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering will follow him as the wheel of the cart follows the beast that draws the cart. If a man speaks or acts with a pure mind, joy follows him as his own shadow.

Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.

After much seeking for truth and knowledge the profoundness of reality came to me with a clarity never before known.
