Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.

You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.

All beings tremble before violence. All love life. All fear death. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?

Heaven and Hell are imaginary creation of ignorant minds.

Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true.

It is easy to see the faults of others... it is hard to see our own.

As a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of evil; as a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of good.
