“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

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

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance.

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

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
