Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.

One who, while seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other living beings who also desire happinesss, will not find happiness hereafter.

Do not be thoughtless, always be mindful, watch your thoughts! Draw yourself out of the path of evil, like an elephant sunk in mud.

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

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Suffering is temporary, enlightenment is forever.

He who wrongs the innocent must bear the fruit of his act, like dust flung against the wind.
