Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.

He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.

Our problems are not solved by physical force, by hatred, by warOur problems are solved by loving kindness by gentleness, by joy

You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.

Each day of my life I am sowing seeds that one day I will harvest.

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

Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.
