All things that are born must die. Work hard for your own freedom from sorrow.
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.
Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.
The less you have, the less you have to worry about.
The root of suffering is attachment
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
