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

Love with attachment consists of waves of emotion, usually creating invisible iron chains.

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.

One learns the art of dying by learning the art of living: how to become master of the present moment.

Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first.

Rather than converting people from one organised religion to another organised religion, we should try to convert people from misery to happiness, from bondage to liberation and from cruelty to compassion.
