Therefore, be islands unto yourselves. Be your own refuge. Have recourse to none else for refuge. Hold fast to the Dharma as a refuge. Resort to no other refuge. Whosoever, either now or after I am gone, shall be islands unto themselves, shall seek no eternal refuge, it is they, among my disciples who shall reach the very topmost height! But they must be keen to progress.

With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.

Just as you have come to know, the false discrimination of yourself, apply this mentally to all phenomena

Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.

The world is continuous flux and is impermanent.

If you cannot find a good companion to walk with, walk alone, like an elephant roaming the jungle. It is better to be alone than to be with those who will hinder your progress.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.
