Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.

How wonderful, how miraculous, all beings, but all beings, are fully endowed with the wisdom and power of the Tathagat. But, sadly, human beings, due to sticky attachments, are not aware of it

Just as gold is burnt, cut and rubbed, Examine my words carefully and Do not accept them simply out of respect

Whoever sees me sees the teaching, and whoever sees the teaching sees me.

An evil deed, like fresh milk, does not go bad suddenly. Smouldering, like fire covered by ashes, the evil deed follows the fool.

May everyone be happy and safe, and may their hearts be filled with joy.

A good friend who points out mistakes is to be respected, as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
