Buddha from the Dhammapada

"The fickle, unsteady mind, so hard to guard, so hard to control, the wise man straightens, as the fletcher straightens the arrow."

Tenzin Gyatso

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Sayagyi U Ba Khin

The Dhamma can stand the test of those who are anxious to do so. They can know for themselves what the benefits are.

Tenzin Gyatso

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Godwin Samararatne

"Meditation is finding the medicine for the sickness we have created by ourselves"

Tenzin Gyatso

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Ramana Maharshi

"Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later, you take on limitations and become the mind"

Tenzin Gyatso

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

S N Goenka

I do not wish to convert people from one organized religion to another; I have no interest in any of these organised religions. My interest is in Dhamma - the truth, the Teachings of all Enlightened ones. If at all there is any conversion, it should be from misery to happiness, from defilement to purity, from bondage to liberation, from ignorance to enlightenment.

Buddha from the Dhammapada

"Heedful among the heedless, watchful among the sleeping, the wise man outstrips the foolish man as a race horse outstrips an old horse."

Sayagyi U Ba Khin

Love which is alone the means for the unity of mankind, must be supreme, and it cannot be so unless the mind is transcendently pure.

Buddha from the Dhammapada

"Irrigators lead the water; fletchers fashion the shaft; carpenters carve the wood; the wise discipline themselves."

Nayanaponika Thero

"Meditation is knowing the mind, shaping the mind and freeing the mind"

Buddha from the Dhammapada

"Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful, and equipoised."
