Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.

Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

Be a lamp unto yourselves! Work out your liberation with diligence! Fill your mind with compassion!

If for just the time of a finger-snap a monk produces a thought of loving-kindness, develops it, gives attention to it, such a one is rightly called a monk. Not in vain does he meditate. He acts in accordance with the master's teaching, he follows his advice. How much more so if he cultivates it.

Being generous and kindly in speech, doing a good turn for others, and treating all alike. One like this will be praised.

There is, Oh Monks, a not-born, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded. Monks, if that unborn, not-become, not-made, not-compounded were not, there would be no escape from this here that is born, become, made and compounded.

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.
