Everything is as it is. It has no name other than the name we give it. It is we who call it something; we give it a value. We say this thing is good or it's bad, but in itself, the thing is only as it is. It's not absolute; it's just as it is. People are just as they are.

"We also often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally."

I believe we are free, within limits, and yet there is an unseen hand, a guiding angel, that somehow, like a submerged propeller, drives us on.

The brightly shining mind is never absent but is colored by the thoughts and emotions that people put upon it. If you were to see the luminous freedom of this mind, you would cultivate it before any other, keeping it free from all attachments.

In my own experience, the period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life. ...Through a difficult period, you can learn, you can develop inner strength, determination, and courage to face the problem. Who gives you this chance? Your enemy.

"A young man caught a small bird, and held it behind his back. He then asked, "Master, is the bird I hold in my hands alive or dead?" The boy thought this was a good opportunity to play a trick on the old man.
If the master answered "dead," it would be let loose in the air. If the master answered "alive," he would simply wring its neck.
The master spoke, "The answer is in your hands."

You could, for a hundred years, live in a forest tending a fire,
or
pay a single moment's homage to one person, self-cultivated.
Better than a hundred years of sacrifices would that act of homage be.

A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness.
Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.

You should make your observations yourself,
You should not be the man of someone else,
Not in the dependence on another should you live,
Nor go about making a trade out of holiness.

You should roam in places that are your own, that arise in accordance with your own true nature.
And what is the place that is your own? It's the pasture of ardent clearness and mindfulness, where discontent and greed are put aside for the sake of the world. That is your own place, your natural range.

You yourself should reprove yourself,
should examine yourself.
As a self-guarded monk
with guarded self,
mindful, you dwell at ease.
Your own self is
your own mainstay.
Your own self is
your own guide.
Therefore you should
watch over yourself--
as a trader, a fine steed.

There is really nothing you must be and there is nothing you must do.
There is really nothing you must have and there is nothing you must know.
There is really nothing you must become.
However, it helps to understand that fire burns, and when it rains, the earth gets wet.

And those who have no mental vigilance,
Though they may hear the teachings, ponder them or meditate,
With minds like water seeping from a leaking jug,
Their learning will not settle in their memories.

Do not form views in the world through either knowledge, virtuous conduct, or religious observances; likewise, avoid thinking of oneself as being either superior, inferior, or equal to others.
The wise let go of the “self” and being free of attachments they depend not on knowledge. Nor do they dispute opinions or settle into any view.
For those who have no wishes for either extremes of becoming or non-becoming, here or in another existence, there is no settling into the views held by others.
Nor do they form the least notion in regard to views seen, heard, or thought out. How could one influence those wise ones who do not grasp at any views.

Love yourself and be awake-
Today, tomorrow, always....
To straighten the crooked
You must first do a harder thing-
Straighten yourself.
You are your only master.
Who else?
Subdue yourself,
And discover your own master.

Not by harming life
Does one become noble.
One is termed noble
For being gentle
To all living things.

Adopting an attitude of universal responsibility is essentially a personal matter.
The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.

On a certain day, month and year one should observe the ceremony of tree-planting.
Thus, one fulfils one’s responsibilities, serves one’s fellow-beings which not only brings happiness but benefits all.
