Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.

For the wakeful one whose mind is quiet, whose thoughts are undisturbed, who has relinquished judgement and blame, there is no fear.

The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.

Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

If the mind be fixed on the acquirement of any object, that object will be attained.

If a string has one end, it has another.
