Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.

Greed for enlightenment and immortality is no different than greed for material wealth. It is self-centered and dualistic, and thus an obstacle to true attainment. Therefore these states are never achieved by those who covet them; rather, they are the reward of the virtuous.

Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.

When they lose their sense of awe, people turn to religion. When they no longer trust themselves, they begin to depend upon authority. Therefore the Master steps back so that people won't be confused. He teaches without a teaching, so that people will have nothing to learn.

What is a good man? A teacher of a bad man. What is a bad man? A good man's charge?

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.

The surest test if a person be sane, is if she accepts life whole, as it is.
