Words of Wisdom from the Journey

“Walking

I walk not to prove anything, but to find myself again in each step.

“Simplicity

When we let go of everything, we truly have everything.

“Compassion

Compassion is not an emotion — it is action. Every step is an act of love.

“Impermanence

Everything is impermanent. But it is that very impermanence that makes each moment precious.

“Freedom

Freedom is not doing whatever we want. Freedom is not being bound by what we think we want.

“Walking

The longest road is not from South to North, but from the head to the heart.

“Freedom

People often ask where I am going. I am going nowhere — and that is precisely the destination.

“Simplicity

Simplicity is not poverty. Simplicity is inner wealth.

“Compassion

When we see another's suffering and feel nothing, that is when we have lost the most human part of ourselves.

“Freedom

Every morning I wake not knowing where I will sleep tonight. And that is the most wonderful feeling.

“Walking

Walking in mindfulness — each step touching the earth is a meditation.

“Impermanence

The lotus blooms from mud. Peace of mind blooms from suffering. That is the truth of life.

“Compassion

I have only one thing to give: my complete presence.

“Simplicity

This world does not need more words about peace. It needs more people living in peace.

“Freedom

I fear nothing, desire nothing, hate nothing. And that is freedom.
