“Complaining is finding faults, wisdom is finding solutions”

When life is good do not take it for granted as it will pass.

Why seek revenge? Karma is going to get the bastards anyway

Everyone makes mistakes. The wise are not people who never make mistakes, but those who forgive themselves and learn from their mistakes.

One can say that the underlying creed of most Western democracies is to protect their people’s freedom to realise their desires, as far as this is possible.

Our modern Western culture only recognises the first of these, freedom of desires.

Life is what’s happening while you’re worrying.

Silence is so much more productive of wisdom and clarity in thinking.

Understand the place of love in a spiritual life. A powerful and blissful type of love has no conditions, no ownership and no people involved. Be free from fear. Be who you are. That is love.

Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.

My first meditation teacher told me that there is no such thing as a bad meditation. He was right. During the difficult meditations you build up your strength, which creates meditation for peace.

Be mindful, be compassionate and nurture the circumstances that find you in this good time so it will last longer.

Love, oneness, is no separation between you and life. It is a progressive letting go, a progressive not fault finding.

The secret of life is… everything is out of control.

Peace is the most valuable commodity. And it’s free!

It then worships such a freedom by enshrining it at the forefront of national constituitions and bills of human rights.

Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. It’s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you.

We often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.

The only thing I can say is that I like people; I like human beings with their faults and with their strengths.

If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change.

If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change.

The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes.

It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.

Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.
