The virtuous man delights in this world and he delights in the next

An ignorant man ages like an ox. His flesh may increase, but not his understanding.

Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.

I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake on Earth as a drop of oil on my foot.

It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.

Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.

If the selflessness of phenomena is analyzed and if this analysis is cultivated, it causes the effect of attaining nirvana. through no other cause does one come to peace.
