"Grief can be the garden of
compassion. If you keep your
heart open through everything,
your pain can become your
greatest ally in your life's
search for love and wisdom."
-Rumi

Your pain is the breaking
of the shell that encloses
your understanding. Even
as the stone of the fruit
must break, that is's heart
may stand in the sun, so
you must know pain
-Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet

"When you find the way
Others will find you.
Passing by on the road
they will be drawn to your door
The way that cannot be heard
will be echoed in your voice.
The way that cannot be seen
will be reflected in your eyes."
Lao-tzu - Tao-te Ching

What is our life but a
dance of transient forms?
Isn't everything always
changing? Doesn't
everything we have done in
the past seem like a dream
now? The friends we grew
up with, the childhood
haunts, those views and
opinions we once held with
such single-minded passion:
We have left them all
behind. Now, at this moment,
reading this book seems
vividly real to you. Even
this page will soon be only
a memory.

"In each atom of the realms of
the universe, There exist vast
oceans of world systems."

Better than if there were thousands
of meaningless words is one
meaningful word that on hearing
brings peace.
Better than if there were thousands
of meaningless verses is one
meaningful verse that on hearing
brings peace.
And better than chanting hundreds
of meaningless verses is one
Dhamma-saying that on hearing
brings peace.
-Dhammapada - Attribute to Buddha
