A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.

The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

He who is grateful doesn't suffer.

Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again

I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
