These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.

Those who recognize the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy, and its cessation, have fathomed the four noble truths. They will walk in the right path.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!

Noble friends and companions are the whole of the holy life.

Let the wise one control his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, often elusive, and they rush about frantically: a mind well controlled achieves peace and happiness.

When you have great joy, you will become Buddhas!
