How can one ever know anything if they are too busy thinking?

Rid of craving and without clinging, an expert in the study of texts, and understanding the right sequence of the words, he may indeed be called "In his last body", "Great in wisdom" and a "Great man."

If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.

Kindnessis giving others happiness.Compassionis removing others' bitterness.Joyis freeing others from suffering.

All things that are born must die. Work hard for your own freedom from sorrow.

A virtuous man or woman who is determined to develop the Supreme Enlightened Mind, should thus develop it: I have to lead all living beings to put a stop to (reincarnation) and escape (suffering), and when they have been so led, not one of them in fact stops (reincarnating) or escapes suffering. Why? Because, if a Bodhisattva believes in the notion of an ego, a personality, or a living being, he is not a true Bodhisattva.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
