Pity arises when we are sorry for someone.Compassion is when we understand and help wisely.

Let yourself be open and life will be easier.

Beware of the anger of the body. Master the body. Let it serve truth. Beware of the anger of the mouth. Master your words. Let them serve truth. Beware of the anger of the mind. Master your thoughts. Let them serve truth.

When things are going well, be mindful of adversityWhen prosperous, be mindful of povertyWhen loved, be mindful of thoughtfulnessWhen respected, be mindful of humility

The masters only point the way. But if you meditate And follow the dharma You will free yourself from desire. 'Everything arises and passes away.' When you see this, you are above sorrow. This is the shining way.

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

It is in this way that I went forth to teach.
