If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.

The raft is used to cross the river. It isn't to be carried around on your shoulders. The finger which points at the moon isn't the moon itself.

Real peace is not in power, money, or weapons, but in deep inner peace.

In the mountains of wisdom no climbing is in vain.

The more we see, the more we understand. The more we understand, the easier it is for us to have compassion and love. Understanding is the source of love. Understanding is love itself. Understanding is another name for love; love is another name for understanding.

Don't think you have to be solemn to meditate. To meditate, well, you have to smile a lot.
