I call wise man who, while he is innocent , endures insults and blows with a patience equal to its strength.

If there is a God, it is inconceivable that he would be concerned about my day to day affairs.

Our good and bad deeds follow us almost like a shadow.

When ignorant people see someone who is dead, they are disgusted and horrified, even thought they too will be dead some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After then, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with life anymore.

It is easy to see the faults of others... it is hard to see our own.

Like a mother who protects her child, her only child, with her own life, one should cultivate a heart of unlimited love and compassion towards all living beings.

Anyone who is not working toward the truth is missing the whole point of living.
