Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
