It came to me that I should teach this truth for it is real happiness and joy. The cessation of suffering is possible.

Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.

Life is so very difficult. How can we be anything but kind.

To share happiness, and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet.

Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.

Long is the night for the sleepless. Long is the road for the weary. Long is samsara (the cycle of continued rebirth) for the foolish, who have not recognised the true teaching.
