Your worst enemy is your best teacher.

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.

Dispassion is the best of mental states. . . .

Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.

Therefore, do not eat meat which will cause terror among people, because it hinders the truth of emancipation; not to eat meat? this is the mark of the wise.

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.

You are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand. You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.
