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.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Never tell a lie. Anyone who can tell you the slightest of lies is also capable of any evil.

The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.

I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.

Never in the world does hatred cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love.
