The gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering.

When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree. But the Tempter cannot master a man who dwells on the distasteful side of things, self-controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, resolute and full of faith, like the wind cannot move a mountain crag.

Attachment leads to suffering.

Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]

In every trial Let understanding fight for you.

Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.

The self of which you speak, whether it is the great self or the small self, is only a concept that does not correspond to any reality.

Greed is an imperfection that defiles the mind; hate is an imperfection that defiles the mind; delusion is an imperfection that defiles the mind.

Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.

O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.

To meditate is to listen with a receptive heart.

Your worst enemy is your best teacher.

Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.

If it is not truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is not truthful and helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time.

Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else.

Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

Wisdom makes light the darkness of ignorance.

You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.

All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.

Attachment is the source of all suffering.
