Like a hundred hare the run, the pursuer of desire is pursued, harried from life to life.

Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds and shine.

Though you may read many sutras and speak about them to others, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?

True happiness arises when we find contentment in the present moment, without clinging to the past or grasping for the future.

He is a true seeker, holding back nothing, holding to nothing, beyond good and evil, beyond the body and beyond the mind.

As dust thrown against the wind, mischief is blown back in the face of the fool who wrongs the pure and harmless.

Speak the truth. Give what you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you into the presence of the gods.

When I pulled out sorrow's shaft, I showed you the way. It is you who must make the effort. The masters only point the way.

Mindful among the mindless, awake while others dream, swift as the racehorse, the wakeful outstrip the field.

Go beyond likes and dislikes, passion and desire, sensuousness and lust, grief and fear, free yourself from attachment.

Weeds choke the field. Passion, hatred, illusion, desire poison one's nature. Honor one who is without passion, hatred, illusion and desire.

The glorious chariots of kings shatter, the body turns to dust. But the spirit of purity is changeless and so the pure instruct the pure.

Greater than all the joys of heaven and earth, greater still than dominion over all the worlds, is the joy of reaching the stream.

Like a broken gong, be still and silent. Know the stillness of freedom where there is no more striving.

I have laid hold of samsara for no other reason than to benefit beings.

It is only because beings do not see what things really are, that the bodhisattva, coursing in Perfect Wisdom, demonstrates Dharma.

Like a magical illusion are all conditioned things, worthless, insignificant, void, fashioned like the firmament.

All dharmas are unthinkable like an illusory man.

The five skandhas are like a dream, an image, a mirage, an apparition, and devoid of marks.

Beings perceive the five skandhas as existence and do not understand them as nonexistence.
