1 — “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
2 — “All experiences are preceded by mind, having mind as their master, created by mind.”
3 — “All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?”
4 — “What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.”
5 — “To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”
6 — “He is able who thinks he is able.”
7 — “What you think you create, what you feel you attract, what you imagine you become.”
8 — “Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox.”
9 — “There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.”

17 — “You are a seeker. Delight in the mastery of your hands and your feet, of your words and your thoughts.”
18 — “In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”
19 — “The external world is only a manifestation of the activities of the mind itself, and the mind grasps it as an external world simply because of its habit of discrimination and false-reasoning. The disciple must get into the habit of looking at things truthfully.”
20 — “Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.”
