When giving to others do not linger on thoughts of a giving, what was given, or the one who has received.
He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose dwelling place is an empty and imageless release - the way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.
Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.
Remember that the only constant in life is change.
Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
Few are those among men who have crossed over to the other shore, while the rest of mankind runs along the bank. However those who follow the principles of the well-taught Truth will cross over to the other shore, out of the dominion of Death, hard though it is to escape.
