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

First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

The calmed say that what is well-spoken is best; second, that one should say what is right, not unrighteous; third, what's pleasing, not displeasing; fourth, what is true, not false.

The right time to show your good character is when you are pestered by someone weaker than you.

Within this moment, the only moment that exists, the past, present and future are contained.

Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you.
