Feel No Thirst

You suffer because of thirst and you suffer in the act of trying to assuage that thirst.

To find the happiness of unbinding, you have to train the mind so that it no longer feels any thirst and no longer needs to feed.

- Thānissaro Bhikkhu, “To Feed Is to Suffer”

Know Your Own Mind

If you discover how you oppress yourself, your uncontrolled mind will disappear.

Knowing your own mind is the solution to all your problems.

- Thubten Yeshe, “Your Mind Is Your Religion”

Part of Nature

We’re part of nature and we’re connected to the earth, to the trees, the air and all other beings.

Please don’t take our word for it — see for yourself if this is true.

- Phap Xa and Phap Luu, “Connecting with the Root of Our Being”
