May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.

What you have become is the result of what you have thought

See the truth, and you will see me.

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.

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.

All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.

Our problems are not solved by physical force, by hatred, by warOur problems are solved by loving kindness by gentleness, by joy
