There is only one time when it is essential to awaken. That time is now.

Be greatly aware of the present.

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment.

A virtuous man or woman who is determined to develop the Supreme Enlightened Mind, should thus develop it: I have to lead all living beings to put a stop to (reincarnation) and escape (suffering), and when they have been so led, not one of them in fact stops (reincarnating) or escapes suffering. Why? Because, if a Bodhisattva believes in the notion of an ego, a personality, or a living being, he is not a true Bodhisattva.

After 48 years, I have said nothing.

Kindness should become the natural way of life,not the exception.
