The shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage.

The discipline which I have imparted to you will lead you when I am gone. Practice mindfulness diligently, to attain the goal of awakening.

Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.

Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height.

Happy are those who have overcome their egos; happy are those who have attained peace; happy are those who have found the Truth.
