Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts

Those who speak much are blamed, those who speak little are blamed. In this world there are none who are not blamed. Try not to blame.

Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done; observe what you yourself have done or not done.

The evils of the body are murder, theft, and adultery; of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse and idle talk; of the mind, covetousness, hatred and error.

There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.

Monks, when ignorance is abandoned, and knowledge arises in the monk, with the ending of ignorance and the arising of knowledge he clings neither to sense-pleasures, nor does he cling to views, nor to precepts and vows, nor to a Self-doctrine. Not clinking, he is not disturbed; not disturbed, he attains individually nibbana.

The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words; Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher; Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation; And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.
