Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.

The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.

To cease from evil, to do good, and to purify the mind yourself, this is the teaching of all the Buddhas.

Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy.

Watering the flowers and the trees, whispering to them, talking to them. Then, they will grow to be more bright and luxuriant.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.

The seeker is that which is being sought.
