Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God. God alone is sufficient.
I need nothing. I seek nothing. I desire nothing.
Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.
Don’t be too quick to interpret the moment. Just keep quiet. My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing. Why should it be different? Just be quiet. Let it all work itself out.
Stop and sink into this timeless moment!
You already are, the peace you are looking for. Be still and know that.
Discover real peace and harmony within yourself, and naturally this will overflow to benefit others.
Stop and appreciate what you have today. Look at what you have with wider eyes, maybe with more compassion and more gratitude for the things that you do have and not the things you don’t have.
You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook, but the ocean’s depths are calm.
Nothing is to be clung to as I, me or mine.
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.
Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don’t do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
If you can’t do anything about it then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change.
The key to serenity is trusting that the universe has your back.
Equanimity is a perfect, unshakable balance of mind.
Still the mind. Inhale peace. Let go of worries. Exhale stress. Notice the breath. Connect to all. Embrace calm.
Don’t speak unless you can improve on the silence.
