In our interactions with others, gentleness, kindness, respectare the source of harmony

The world is full of suffering. Birth is suffering, decre- pitude is suffering, sickness and death are sufferings. To face a man of hatred is suffering, to be separated from a beloved one is suffering, to be vainly struggling to satisfy one's needs is suffering. In fact, life that is not free from desire and passion is always involved with suffering.

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.

If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.

Yet the Teaching is simple. Do what is right. Be pure. At the end of the way is freedom.

If a man offend a harmless, pure, and innocent person, the evil falls back upon that fool, like light dust thrown up against the wind.

Offensive acts come back upon the evil doer, like dust that is thrown against the wind.
