Forgive and be free. Forget that you have forgiven and be freer.

They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.

When a man venerates those worthy of veneration, be they Buddhas or their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond sorrow and tears - venerating such as these, whose passions are extinguished and for whom there is no further source for fear, no one can calculate how great his merit is.

There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.

Let us live most happily, free from hatred in the midst of the hateful; Let us remain free from hatred in the midst of people who hate.

The good renounce everything. The pure don't babble about sensual desires. Whether touched by pleasure or pain, the wise show no change of temper.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.
