At the end of the way is freedom. Until then, patience.

The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.

Live in Joy, In love, Even among those who hate. Live in joy, In health, Even among the afflicted. Live in joy, In peace, Even among the troubled. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.

Live contemplating the body. Contemplate internally and externally. Contemplate the origination of things in the body. Contemplate the dissolution of things in the body.

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

Here will I live in the rainy season, here in the autumn and in the summer: thus muses the fool. He realizes not the danger (of death).
