The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.

By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.

Having abandoned the taking of life, refraining from killing, we dwell without violence, with the knife laid down, scrupulous, full of mercy, trembling with compassion for all sentient beings.

A fool learns nothing from a wise man; but a wise man learns from a fool.

He is able who think he is able.

Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind

Life is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won't play, if it is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle.
