If you put a spoonful of salt in a cup of water it tastes very salty. If you put a spoonful of salt in a lake of fresh water the taste is still pure and clear. Peace comes when our hearts are open like the sky, vast as the ocean.

As surely as there is a voyage away, there is a journey home.

We need a repeated discipline, a genuine training, in order to let go of our old habits of mind and to find and sustain a new way of seeing.

We are awakened to the profound realization that the true path to liberation is to let go of everything.

We can easily become loyal to our suffering … but it's not the end of the path.

Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

Knowledge and achievements matter little if we do not yet know how to touch the heart of another and be touched.
