Return to this moment

He whose mouth is bitter with sickness finds bitter even the purest water.

Bury your existence in the soil of obscurity, for whatever sprouts from a seed never buried does not come to full fruit.

The soul is dyed with the color of its thoughts: such as your habitual thoughts are, such will the character of your mind be.

You can lose only the present moment, for that is all you ever have; and no one can lose what he does not possess.

To be everywhere is to be nowhere.

Sit at the stream's edge and watch life flowing past: this one sign of the passing world is enough for us.

Knowing others is wisdom; knowing yourself is enlightenment.

The perfect person's mind is like a mirror: it pursues nothing and refuses nothing; it receives, but does not hold.

Look not to the faults of others, to what they have done or left undone; look rather to your own deeds, done and left undone.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
