Moment after moment everything comes out of nothingness. This is the true joy of life.

When you try to understand everything, you will not understand anything. The best way is to understand yourself, and then you will understand everything.

We try, and we try, and we fail; and then we go deeper.

It is only by practicing through a continual succession of agreeable and disagreeable situations that we acquire true strengths. To accept that pain is inherent and to live our lives from this understanding is to create the causes and conditions for happiness.

Concentration comes not from trying hard to focus on something, but from keeping your mind open and directing it at nothing.

In your big mind, everything has the same value...In your practice you should accept everything as it is, giving to each thing the same respect given to a Buddha. Here there is Buddhahood

When you are fooled by something else, the damage will not be so big. But when you are fooled by yourself, it is fatal. No more medicine.
