Adages of Wisdom Quotes by Master Sheng Yen

The deeper our compassion, the greater our wisdom and the fewer our vexations.

***

Simply deal with matters with wisdom and treat people with compassion, without worrying about personal gain or loss. Then we'll never be plagued by vexations.

***

To let the circumstances dictate one's state of mind is human; to let the mind dictate the circumstances is sage.

***

A big duck cuts a big wake; a small duck cuts a small wake. Big or small, each duck will paddle its own way to the other shore—but only if it paddles.

***

If the mountain won't move, build a road around it. If the road won't turn, change your path. If you are unable to even change your path, just transform your mind.

***

Diligence doesn't mean stretching beyond our limits. It means displaying unremitting persistence.

***
