Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true.

From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?

Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.

Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self.

How can a troubled mind Understand the way? If a man is disturbed He will never be filled with knowledge. An untroubled mind, No longer seeking to consider What is right and what is wrong, A mind beyond judgements, Watches and understands. Know that the body is a fragile jar, And make a castle of your mind. In every trial Let understanding fight for you To defend what you have won.

Man should make himself a lot of good karma.

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.
