Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

If a person does not harm any living being...and does not kill or cause others to kill - that person is a true spiritual practitioner

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

If a man offend a harmless, pure, and innocent person, the evil falls back upon that fool, like light dust thrown up against the wind.

A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much; the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.

Life can only take place in the present moment. If we lose the present moment, we lose life.
