“The mind of one who practises doesn’t run away anywhere, it stays right there. Good, evil, happiness and unhappiness, right and wrong arise, and he knows them all.”

Wherever we start to think that things are certain, uncertainty is lurking right there. Heedlessness is just holding things as certain. It is grasping at certainty where there is no certainty and looking for truth in things that are not true. Be careful! They are likely to bite you sometime in the future!

You should settle the issue right there. One who runs away from suffering out of fear is the most foolish person of all. He will simply increases his stupidity endlessly.

Regarding this Dhamma, it is not something that we can simply talk about or take another’s word for it.

You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can’t solve your own doubts.

We practice to learn how to let go, not how to increase our holding on to things. Enlightenment appears when you stop wanting anything.

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 witness all kinds of scenes and actors, all kinds of temptations and stories, everything imaginable.

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.
