As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its color or fragrance, so let the sage dwell on earth.

Treat others with respect. How you treat others will be how they treat you.

As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.

From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.

When watching after yourself, you watch after others. When watching after others, you watch after yourself.
