ས་ག་ཟླབ

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own self in all beings, and all beings in his own self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.



My religion is very simple.



My religion is kindness.
