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.

Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward

If desires are not uprooted, sorrows grow again in you.

Everything changes, nothing remains without change.

Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.

Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.

Offensive acts come back upon the evil doer, like dust that is thrown against the wind.
