The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.

There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.

If the traveller can find A virtuous and wise companion Let him go with him joyfully And overcome the dangers of the way. But if you cannot find Friend or master to go with you, Travel on alone.

Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.

One is not low because of birth nor does birth make one holy. Deeds alone make one low, deeds alone make one holy.
