Doing Kind Deeds
“If whoever repays a kind deed
Is worthy of some praise,
Then what need to mention the Bodhisattva
Who does good without its being asked of him?”
Wishing to be rid of Misery
“Although wishing to be rid of misery,
They run towards misery itself.
Although wishing to have happiness,
Like an enemy they ignorantly destroy it.”
Let Life be with You
“Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?”
Destiny
“Destiny doesn’t mean that our lives are already decided. It is a stupidity to accept everything and say ‘It is destiny’. Destiny doesn’t show the whole life, only the end of some roads. We are not completely masters but surely not victims.”
A Life without Love is a Waste
“A life without love is a waste. ‘Should I look for spiritual love, or material, or physical love?’, don’t ask yourself this question. Discrimination leads to discrimination. Love doesn’t need any name, category or definition. Love is a world itself. Either you are in, at the center … either you are out, yearning.”
