Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

'As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.' Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

It is impossible to underestimate the significance of your today's choices

Follow the truth of the way. Reflect upon it. Make it your own. Live it. It will always sustain you.

No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.

One who previously made bad karma, but who reforms and creates good karma, brightens the world like the moon appearing from behind a cloud.

The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
