After much seeking for truth and knowledge the profoundness of reality came to me with a clarity never before known.

Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.

Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.

Happiness or sorrow- whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached.

He who lives with his senses well controlled, moderate in his food and drink, he will not be overthrown, any more than the wind throws down a rocky mountain.

To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.

Do not learn how to react. Learn how to respond.
