It's not the appearance that binds you, it's the attachment to the appearance that binds you.

Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.

The appearances of the world are not the problem, it's clinging to them that causes suffering

No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself.

Realizing that nothing can last, that all is as dreamlike illusion.

One torch can dissipate the accumulated darkness of a thousand aeons.

Don’t recall. Don’t imagine. Don’t think. Don’t examine. Don’t control. Rest.

It is not the outer objects that entangle us. It is the inner clinging that entangles us.

Fear is the bane of all creatures that bubbles inside us forming rocks of resistence, sucking away all will power to act, think or speak.

If it feels nice, just throw the dice.

In blink of an eye everything can change, so forgive often and love all your heart. You may never know when you may not have the chance again.. Good to you all..

Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.

Without opium, plans, marriages and journeys appear to me just as foolish as if someone falling out of a window were to hope to make friends with the occupants of the room before which he passes.

Truth is such a subjective thing.

The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.

Nobody can protect anybody else from vileness. Or from pain. All you can do is not let it break you in half and keep on going until you get to the other side.

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.

And the words we find are always insufficient, like love, though they are often lovely and all we have.
