The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.

Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.

There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust Are your greatest possessions, And freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

Monks, when ignorance is abandoned, and knowledge arises in the monk, with the ending of ignorance and the arising of knowledge he clings neither to sense-pleasures, nor does he cling to views, nor to precepts and vows, nor to a Self-doctrine. Not clinking, he is not disturbed; not disturbed, he attains individually nibbana.

We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end.

Life is uncertain; death is certain.

Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?
