Resolutely train yourself to attain peace

Offensive acts come back upon the evil doer, like dust that is thrown against the wind.

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.

Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.

When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.

Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
