Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance.

Being generous and kindly in speech, doing a good turn for others, and treating all alike. One like this will be praised.

If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?

A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.

Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind, you speak or act, then suffering follows you as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draft animal. If with a pure mind, you speak or act, then happiness follows you as a shadow that never departs

The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.

There is pleasure And there is bliss. Forgo the first to possess the second. If you are happy At the expense of another man's happiness, You are forever bound.
