The kingdom of heaven is closer than the brow above the eye but mankind does not see it.

Life is uncertain; death is certain.

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.

You must take action yourself, for Buddhas only teach the way.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.

Do not underestimate what you specific conventional, nor covetousness others. He who envies others does not terra firma organization of intellect.

Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!
