If desires are not uprooted, sorrows grow again in you.

Suffering is temporary, enlightenment is forever.

When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.

But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.

There's a treasury full of jade and jewels; It is in you. Don't go searching far from home for it-it's here.

Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.

Conquer a liar with truth.
