This is deathless: the liberation of the mind through lack of clinging.

When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.

The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.

To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.

Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
