“Know and watch your heart. It’s pure but emotions come to colour it. So let your mind be like a tightly woven net to catch emotions and feelings that come, and investigate them before you react.”

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.

We do it, not with desire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it.

Do not be in a hurry or try to push your practice. If you become peaceful, then accept it,; if you don’t become peaceful, then accept that also.

Better to begin practice without delay. I am like a good friend inviting you to go somewhere. Do not hesitate, just get going. You won’t regret it.

Once you understand non-self, then the burden of life is gone. You’ll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy.

When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.

Learn to see that it is not things that bother us, that we go out to bother them.

The one who recognizes the uncertainty of phenomena is the Dharma within you.

Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened.

I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it – incredibly.

To observe and watch one’s own mind is something really interesting. The untrained mind will run and follow its old habit patterns. Because it has not been trained and taught, it will get lost in all kinds of stories and issues.

Just get to know me. Be my friend. Just kick it with me as if I was hanging with a homeboy.

We can forget that most of the people that we know, or at least encounter regularly, are decent and friendly.

No one knows you like the people you live with, and no one will take up your cause to the outside world quite like your blood relatives.

Those who want to know the facts, and those who want to make up a nice story to feel better.

This should tell you everything you need to know about guys.

I don’t know how I’m sitting here right now speaking English.

Any athlete knows that it is the start that ensures a good finish.

I believe in miracles, but I trust in Jesus. If you believe the Bible, you know that God is a miracle-working God.
