The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today.

Work diligently. Diligently. Work patiently and persistently. Patiently and persistently. And you're bound to be successful. Bound to be successful.

The only conversion involved in Vipassana is from misery to happiness, from bondage to liberation.

Every sensation shares the same characteristic: it arises and passes away, arises and passes away. It is this arising and passing that we have to experience through practice, not just accept as truth because Buddha said so, not just accept because intellectually it seems logical enough to us. We must experience sensation’s nature, understand its flux, and learn not to react to it.

The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is universal.

Vipassana is the art of living. Not the art of escaping.
