“We must begin our practice by walking the narrow path of simplicity, the hinayana path, before we can walk upon the open highway of compassionate action, the mahayana path.”
“We must walk the path of sadness in order to appreciate truly the path of happiness.”
“To choose the path is to choose the destination, but sometimes it seems that the path is under our feet even before we know we're walking.”
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
“We walk the paths we choose.”
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
