Just be free, and at least you will go through adversity with a stronger mind, and therefore, you'll be less affected, and pain will affect you less.

Worries are pointless. If there's a solution, there's no need to worry. If no solution exists, there's no point to worry.

Nothing goes right on the outside when nothing is going right on the inside.

Happiness is a skill, emotional balance is a skill, compassion and altruism are skills, and like any skill they need to be developed. That's what education is about.

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.

Let us live simply in the freshness of the present moment, in the clarity of pure awakened mind.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity, it is a state of being.

Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.

Moments give birth to new memories

worryless and live more to see the destiny of your future

Human beings are not efficiently designed for a capitalist system of production.

Never think oldish thoughts. It's oldish thoughts that make a person old.

The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people. When an action is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

If I'm not happy with how someone is showing up, I can only be honest and hope that my feelings resonate and inspire a deeper look into oneself.
