No escape, no problem
No big deal
Pulling out the rug
Let the world speak for itself
Poisons as medicine
Start where you are
Bringing all that we meet to the path
Drive all blames into one
Be grateful to everyone
Cutting the solidity of thoughts
Overcoming resistance
Empty boat
Teaching for life and death
Loving-kindness and compassion
Lighten up
Abandon any hope of fruition
Compassionate action
Taking responsibility for your own actions
Communication from the heart
The big squeeze
High-stakes practice
Train wholeheartedly
