Purity or impurity depends on oneself, no one can purify another.

Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.

(The real brahmin is the one who:) ... has crossed beyond duality ...knows no this shore, other shore, or both ...(is) settled in mind ... without inflowing thoughts ...is without attachment ...endures undisturbed criticism, ill-treatment and bonds, (and is) strong in patience ...(is) without anger, devout, upright, free from craving, disciplined and in his last body ...has experienced the end of his suffering here in this life, who has set down the burden, freed!

All rising to great places is by a winding stair.

When action comes out of nothing it creates no karma.

Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.

I teach one thing and one only: that is, suffering and the end of suffering.
