“You will witness all kinds of scenes and actors, all kinds of temptations and stories, everything imaginable.”

Breathing is something vital to peoples lives. If you see that Dhamma practice is vital to your life, then you will feel that breathing and practising the Dhamma are equally important.

You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha.

Raise families and look after themselves, that’s all. To them, being smart is more important than being wise!

The serene and peaceful mind is the true epitome of human achievement.

A good practice is to ask yourself very sincerely, ‘Why was I born?’ Ask yourself this question in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night…every day.

But when I know that the glass is already broken, every minute with it is precious.

Why are we born? We are born so that we will not have to be born again.

Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering.

Don’t think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking.

When sitting in meditation, say, “That’s not my business!” with every thought that comes by.

One man watches a river flow by. If he does not wish it to flow, to change ceaselessly in accord with its nature, he will suffer great pain.

The heart is just the heart; thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be just as they are.

Another man understands that nature of the river is to change constantly, regardless of his likes and dislikes, and therefore he does not suffer.

Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

Hear the bird’s song then let go. If you know nature, you’ll know truth. If you know truth, you’ll know nature.

If you have time to be mindful, you have time to meditate.

All people hope Islam helps everything in life.

Everything is art. Everything is politics.

Liberty is about the right to question everything.

Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.

Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.

Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.

You’re willing to realize that maybe everything you’ve ever thought about yourself really isn’t true.

Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?
