Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.

One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.

Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.

One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.

Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.

It is ignorance that smothers, and it is carelessness that makes it invisible. The hunger of craving pollutes the world, and the pain of suffering causes the greatest fear.

How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
