A universal principle

Hope is hopeless.

We suppose we possess material things, but we are actually possessed by these material things that we fear to lose. This is the meaning of all idolatry, and the danger thereof..

Jesus was a Buddhist monk.

He might have made it to India and studied there. He could have walked there and back in the 20 years between the story of him impressing the teachers at the Temple in Jerusalem and when he shows back up at his friend's wedding and makes water into wine. However, I tend to think that since he was Egyptian he probably learned a lot of different philosophies studying in the various remnants of the Library of Alexandria, among other hidden and obscure libraries in that region. That's where he likely learned the dangerous arts of sorcery and demon casting and necromancy, and where he got the idea that he was the next King Solomon.

The tighter you hold onto something, the less you own it, and the more it owns you.

For most people, what you want, you don't need.

You can't want something you don't know exists, and you don't want for something you already have.

Contentment comes when you cherish what you have, share what you have in abundance, and only desire what you need.

Better (easier) to follow the will of the Lord which is righteous than to follow one's own will which is flawed?

The abundance of miracles to witness is simply astonishing!

Let go of things and falling becomes flying

First thing to let go of is the belief that you exist as a separate thing.
