Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everythiong else.

Sound health is the greatest of gifts; contentedness, the greatest of riches; trust, the greatest of qualities.

Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there is black. Just like these, as the self-nature of things can not exist alone, they are called non-substantial.

The world is full of suffering. Birth is suffering, decre- pitude is suffering, sickness and death are sufferings. To face a man of hatred is suffering, to be separated from a beloved one is suffering, to be vainly struggling to satisfy one's needs is suffering. In fact, life that is not free from desire and passion is always involved with suffering.

Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.

Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

When giving to others do not linger on thoughts of a giving, what was given, or the one who has received.
