You create what you defend against.

Seeing the Way is like going into a dark room with a torch; the darkness instantly departs, while the light alone remains. When the Way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever.

If you sleep, Desire grows in you Like a vine in the forest. Like a monkey in the forest You jump from tree to tree, Never finding the fruit - From life to life, Never finding peace. If you are filled with desire Your sorrows swell Like the grass after the rain. But if you subdue desire Your sorrows shall fall from you Like drops of water from a lotus flower.

Remember, the greatest gift to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.

Life is a river always flowing. do not hold onto things. work hard.

Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.

Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.
