As a human being, you have the right to get angry; but as a practitioner, you do not have the right to stop practicing.

You would not cry if you knew that by looking deeply into the rain you would still see the cloud.

The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion's roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.

When the energy of compassion and love touches us, healing establishes itself.

There are always some people who are ready to embrace a doctrine, a notion, a dogma, and they miss the real teaching.

When we are angry, our anger is our very self. To suppress or chase away our anger is to suppress or chase away ourselves. When anger is born, we can be aware that anger is an energy in us, and we can change that energy into another kind of energy. If we want to transform it, first we have to know how to accept it.

People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.
