There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.

Whatever suffering there is in this world,all arises from desiring only myself to be happy.And whatever joy there is in this world,all arises from desiring to share my happiness with everyone.

If one man kills a hundred men, and another man masters himself, the second man is the much greater warrior.

Life can only take place in the present moment. If we lose the present moment, we lose life.

Even if a fool lived with a wise man all his life, he would still not recognise the truth, like a wooden spoon cannot recognise the flavour of the soup.

One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.

Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.
