The world is continuous flux and is impermanent.

If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.

Meat is not agreeable to the wise: it has a nauseating odor, it causes a bad reputation, it is food for the carnivorous; I say this, Mahamati, it is not to be eaten.

How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.

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

If the traveler cannot find master or friend to go with him, let him travel alone rather than with a fool for company.

It is your mind that creates the world.
