‎You only lose that which you cling to.

Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.

When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.

Both formerly and now, it is only suffering that I describe, and the cessation of suffering.

There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.

Let the disciple cultivate love without measure towards all beings. Let him cultivate towards the whole world, above, below, around, a heart of love unstinted....For in all the world this state of heart is best.

Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.
