If you cling to pain, happiness will never arrive. Even in moments of suffering, remember to allow yourself some joy.
A thousand loads of grain are still just three meals a day; ten thousand pieces of gold are still just the passage of day and night; ten mansions are still just a single bed; a hundred carriages still bring worries and troubles; high office and wealth are still just a daily job; a multitude of concubines are still just a night's pleasure; delicacies are still just a full stomach; and glory and wealth are but passing clouds. Whether money is much or little, as long as there is enough to eat; whether there are many or few people, health is what matters most.
The future is in your hands, so the path you take is your own choice.

Dependent Origination is the supreme law of the universe. Our mental and physical cultivation, as well as the coexistence of self and others, must not violate this law.

有粮千担，也是一日三餐；有钱万贯，也是黑白一天；洋房十座，也是睡榻一间；宝车百乘，也是有愁有烦；高官厚禄，也是每天上班；妻妾成群，也是一夜之欢；山珍海味，也是一副肚腩；荣华富贵，也是过眼云烟。钱多钱少，够吃就好；人多老人少，健康就好。
未来掌握在自己手里，所以路怎么走，由你来选择。
兄弟相爱，灼艾分痛。
缘起法性是宇宙人生的最高法则。我们的身心修养、自他共处，都不能违反这缘起法性。也就是说，世出世法不能截然分开，而应在这一贯的法则中建立。佛教的本质是平等而非阶级，是自由而非压制，是整体而非个人。
爱情的真谛不是轰轰烈烈，而是柴米油盐。
人生就像一座山，重要的不是它的高低，而在于它的灵秀；人生就像一场雨，重要的不是它的大小，而在于它是否及时。
