“Silence is also conversation.”

Be detached from desire your whole life long.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.

Deeper and deeper I go, into the green mountains.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

Face it, accept it, deal with it, let it go.

All real living is meeting.

Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass away; God never changes.

I pluck chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge, and gaze at ease at the southern mountains.
