“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

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

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.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

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

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