Do not speak - unless it improves on silence.

If people become accustomed to lying, they will unconsciously commit every possible wrong deed. Before they can act wickedly, they must lie and once they begin to lie they will act wickedly without concern.

When you have great joy, you will become Buddhas!

Be greatly aware of the present.

Sustaining a loving heart, even for a moment, makes one a spiritual being.

He who lives with his senses well controlled, moderate in his food and drink, he will not be overthrown, any more than the wind throws down a rocky mountain.

Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.
