May all sentient beings be happy and free of suffering.

One should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should one incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.

Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.

By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.

No one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly. When we know this, we become free.

Never in the world does hatred cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love.

'Wherefore, brethren, thus must ye train yourselves : Liberation of the will through love will develop, we will often practice it, we will make it vehicle and base, take our stand upon it, store it up, throughly set it going.'
