Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

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

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

It is better to travel well then arrive.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form

One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
