Do not let pleasure distract you from meditation, from the way. Free yourself from pleasure and pain.

Sustaining a loving heart, even for a moment, makes one a spiritual being.

Let your mind become clear like a still forest pool.

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.

Remember, the greatest gift to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.

Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
