A fool thinks it like honey so long as the bad deed does not bear fruit, but when it does bear fruit he experiences suffering.

(The real brahmin is the one who:) ... has crossed beyond duality ...knows no this shore, other shore, or both ...(is) settled in mind ... without inflowing thoughts ...is without attachment ...endures undisturbed criticism, ill-treatment and bonds, (and is) strong in patience ...(is) without anger, devout, upright, free from craving, disciplined and in his last body ...has experienced the end of his suffering here in this life, who has set down the burden, freed!

If a man does what is good, let him do it again; let him delight in it; happiness is the outcome of good.

It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.

For fear of causing terror to living beings, Mahamati, let the Bodhisattva who is disciplining himself to attain compassion, refrain from eating flesh.

We will be thankful and grateful. Not even the last thing that is done for us shall be forgotten.

Having abandoned the taking of life, refraining from killing, we dwell without violence, with the knife laid down, scrupulous, full of mercy, trembling with compassion for all sentient beings.
