A perpetrator can deceive everyone but himself.
A person who cleaves to worldly possessions and passions is like a child
eating honey smeared on the edge of a knife.
A person who part of the world, like everything else, falls apart and dies.
A shaven-head does not make one a wise ascetic.
A snowflake never falls in the wrong place.
A Sutta should be read again and again, lest its message be lost.
A taste of Dhamma conquers all taste for tastes.
A thousand mountain ranges face the highest peak.
A tranquil mind is a mind that is focused and clear.
A tree, even when it has been cut to a stump, will sprout and grow again.
A true Buddhist works for the well-being and happiness of all.
A white heron on a snowfield hides itself, unseen in its own image.
A wise one becomes full of goodness, just as drops of water fill a pot.
A wise one, holding a scale,
perceives when just even one speck of worldly dust
produces an imbalance.
A woman’s fragrance is the most alluring of them all.
A wrong action, like milk, soon turns sour.
A wrongly-directed mind brings greater harm than any enemy.
Abandoning self-indulgence opens the door to wisdom, clarity and compassion.
Admiration, clothed in praise, is a spiritual disaster disguised as a blessing.
Advanced practitioners do not have to be sitting; one can practice while engaged in any activity.
After listening to our teachers, whether we walk the path is up to us alone.
After making merit for a long time,
one experiences desirable, pleasant,
charming results for a long time.
After Siddhartha became a Buddha, he left Siddhartha behind.
After spring rain, dried-roots sprout again.
All created things perish; whoever realizes this transcends pain.
