When action comes out of nothing it creates no karma.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.

Not by mere eloquence, nor by handsome appearance, does a man become good-natured, should he be jealous, selfish and deceitful.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.

Life is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won't play, if it is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle.

Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.
