Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.

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.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

True charity occurs only when there are no notions of giving, giver, or gift.

When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you.

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
