A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.

The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree. But the Tempter cannot master a man who dwells on the distasteful side of things, self-controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, resolute and full of faith, like the wind cannot move a mountain crag.

Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.

The more completely we give of ourselves, the more completely the world gives back to us.

One should strive to understand what underlies sufferings and diseases - and aim for health and well-being while gaining in the Path.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant.

All composite things pass away. Strive for your own liberation with diligence.
