GIVE GENEROUSLY TO OTHERS
“If you knew what I know about the power of giving you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.”
“Give, even if you only have a little.”
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
FREE YOURSELF FROM ATTACHMENTS
“All conditioned things are impermanent’ — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.”
It’s okay to be attached to something, but be prepared to let it go someday.
TAKE THE JOURNEY WITHIN TO FIND ANSWERS
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can, and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path.”
The journey of our lives starts and ends with ourselves. Instead of leaning on others to guide you through life, be brave and blaze your own path.
WALK A HUMBLE PATH
“Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever’s not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.”
Being humble helps build trust and facilitates learning, key aspects of leadership and personal development.
CONQUER THE EGO (MIND) AND FREE THE SOUL
“To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.”
The ego wants to protect our self-image because that’s what it is. But many times, it inflates what reality it sees and projects its own, which causes us more problems.
RELEASE FEELINGS OF HATE, RESENTMENT, AND FEAR
“We see the mind like a house, so if your house is on fire, you need to take care of the fire, not to go look for the person that made the fire,”
Take care of those emotions first because anything that comes from a place of fear, anxiety and anger will only make the fire worse.
BE HERE NOW
“The past is already gone; the future is not yet here.
There’s only one moment for you to live.”
Past and future are in the mind only—I am now. Letting go of the past and not waiting for the future means living your life consciously.
YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR DESTINY
“Purity or impurity depends on oneself. No one can purify another.”
We can write or rewrite our destiny! All you need to know is what you want to do with your life. Write your fate with your hands; if you don’t like it, erase it and write it again.
NOURISH YOUR BODY WITH THE RIGHT FOODS
“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”
The principle of ‘oneness of mind and body’ teaches that a healthy body can only be achieved if the mind is kept strong and vice versa.
DON’T RESIST REALITY
“The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realised the nature of the world.”
Our big problem is ignorance — our fundamental misunderstanding of reality. There seems to be a contradiction between the reality we expect and experience. There are two ways of seeing everything.
