Surely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.

As long as one feels that he is the doer, he cannot escape from the wheel of births.

All of you knowing now, Tthat the Buddhas, the Teachers of the Ages, In accord with what is peculiarly appropriate, have recourse to expedient devices, Need have no more doubts or uncertainties. Your hearts shall give rise to great joy, Since you know that you yourselves Shall become Buddhas.

The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.

To have everything is to possess nothing.

And he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is better if a man has attained firm strength.

The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?
