When a flower is still a bud, we cannot experience its beauty or fragrance. We have to wait patiently for the bud to unfold on its own. Only then can we fully experience its beauty and fragrance.
A mind clouded by attachment cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
We should be willing to take action, without waiting to see whether or not anyone will be there to help us.
We need to focus on our destination. Let the thoughts arising in your mind pass by, like watching scenery through the window of a car. The thoughts cannot affect you if you don't allow them to capture your attention.
When our mental outlook improves, the state of the environment will also improve.
When karma (action) is performed with awareness and compassion as its driving force, it accelerates one’s spiritual journey.
We have a treasure within us which we will never lose, and which no one can steal. But we will not get it by searching outside. We have to look inside.
