I teach about suffering and the way to end it

Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance.

Let the wise one control his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, often elusive, and they rush about frantically: a mind well controlled achieves peace and happiness.

There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.

Household life is crowded and dusty; life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.

If you are poor, live wisely. If you have riches, live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
