"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."
"Nirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. There’s nowhere to go. There’s nothing else to be. There’s no destination. It’s not something to aim for in the afterlife. It’s simply the quality of this moment."

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger"
"The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by."
"Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds."
"Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful"
