Whoever makes love grow boundless, and sets his mind for seeing the end of birth, his fetters are worn thin. If he loves even a single being, Good will follow. But the Noble One with compassionate heart for all mankind, generates abounding good.

It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind.

By defilement of mind, beings are defiled; by purification of mind, beings are purified.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.
