“The paramitas of generosity, discipline, patience, endeavor and concentration can help you to accumulate merit, but they are still associated with concepts. Only wisdom can perfect the accumulation which leads you to realize primordial awareness free of all concepts.
Generosity, discipline, patience, diligence and concentration could be likened to five blind men who, without the eyes of wisdom, would never be able to find their way to the citadel of liberation. Indeed, only when accompanied by wisdom do they deserve the name paramita, transcendent, literally “gone to the other shore” – the shore across the ocean of suffering and ignorance, beyond the concepts of samsara and nirvana.”

“Reflect on the meaning of these four topics - The difficulty of obtaining a precious human rebirth, the fact that nothing lasts, that we are all mortals, that everyone is governed by the consequences of karmic actions, and that there is no place within samsaric existence with permanent happiness. Those are called the four mind-changings. They are extremely important to take to heart, because they are not fiction or fantasy. They are facts; they explain the circumstances and conditions that we live under within samsaric existence.”

“We often think of peace as the absence of war; that if the powerful countries would reduce their arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds - our prejudices, fears, and ignorance. Even if we transported all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the reasons for bombs would still be here, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we would make new bombs. Seek to become more aware of what causes anger and separation, and what overcomes them. Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh
