Here even the various mind-pleasing blossoming flowers, and attractive shining supreme golden houses, have no inherently existent maker at all. They are set up through the power of thought. Through the power of conceptuality the world is established

The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.

The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions

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.

Live like a mighty river.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
