The secret of Buddhism is to remove all ideas, all concepts, in order for the truth to have a chance to penetrate, to reveal itself.
Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.
Many people think excitement is happiness... But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.
Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.
It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.
Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
