Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.

As soon as we think we are safe, something unexpected happens.

Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.

Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

A good horse runs with seeing just the shadow of the whip.

Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.
