Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.

Just as you have come to know, the false discrimination of yourself, apply this mentally to all phenomena

The wind cannot shake a mountain. Neither praise nor blame moves the wise man.

As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths are made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.

If the selflessness of phenomena is analyzed and if this analysis is cultivated, it causes the effect of attaining nirvana. through no other cause does one come to peace.

Men give up one thing to take up another, but in spite of numerous changes they do not find peace. They are no better than monkeys who let go one bough to take hold of another, only to let it go again.

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world. One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry. Standing, or going, or seated, or lying down, as long as one is free from drowsiness, one should practice this mindfulness. This, they say, is the holy state here.
