Life at home is cramped and dirty, it is difficult to live a spiritual life completely, perfect and pure in all its parts while cabinned.

A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.

As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise.

In our lives, change is unavoidable, loss is unavoidable. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom.

Cultivation of meditative stability alone, will not destroy the discrimination of inherent existence. Afflictive emotions can return, making all sorts of disturbances

Inner freedom is not guided by our efforts; it comes from seeing what is true.

Those who are truly wise will remain unmoved by feelings of happiness and suffering, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, gain and loss.They will remain calm like the eye of a hurricane.
