The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.

May everyone be happy and safe, and may their hearts be filled with joy.

Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

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

Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.

How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.
