Happiness never decreases by being shared.” “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” “Three things cannot hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.” “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” “To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.” “To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.” “Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.” “I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.” “‎Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.” “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” "Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.” “A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/inspirational-living/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
