Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self.

Harm no other beings. They are just your brothers and sisters.

As I am, so are others as others are, so am I. Having thus identified self and others, harm no one nor have them harmed.

For fear of causing terror to living beings, Mahamati, let the Bodhisattva who is disciplining himself to attain compassion, refrain from eating flesh.

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

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

To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
