All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances.

Hasten slowly and ye shall soon arrive.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick

You menace others with your deadly fangs. But in tormenting them, you are only tormenting yourselves.

In the monastery of your heart, you have a temple where all Buddhas unite.

All meditation must begin with arousing deep compassion. Whatever one does must emerge from an attitude of love and benefitting others.

Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest.
