Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world:
as a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
a flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

“Letting go gives us freedom,
and freedom is the only condition for happiness.
If, in our heart, we still cling to anything –
anger, anxiety, or possessions –
we cannot be free.”
