“If you let go a little you will have a little happiness.”

We see that the sound is simply sound. If we understand like this, then there’s nothing more to it. We leave it be.

If it shouldn’t happen, it wouldn’t happen.

We need to develop meditation so that the understanding arises clearly within oneself. It is not the case that merely by listening to another’s explanation our defilements will disappear.

In practice, some come to see easily, some with difficulty. But whatever the case, never mind.

Only one book is worth reading: the heart.

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect praise or reward.

The mind is intrinsically tranquil. Out of this tranquility, anxiety and confusion are born. If one sees and knows this confusion, then the mind is tranquil once more.

Know and watch your heart. It’s pure but emotions come to colour it.

Don’t be attached to visions or lights in meditation, don’t rise or fall with them.

Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldnt she? But it really isn’t hers to command.

You will have a steady awareness within yourself.

Where does peace arise? Peace arises whenever we let something go.

A madman and an arahant both smile, but the arahant knows why while the madman doesn’t.

We can always find time to breathe. In the same way, if we see the importance of meditation practice we will find the time to practice.

Truth is all there is. It’s like when you learned how to read, you can then read anywhere you go.

The Dhamma has to be found by looking into your own heart and seeing that which is true and that which is not, that which is balanced and that which is not balanced.
