You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
A person creates what they defend against.
The secret of happiness lies in the mind's release from worldly ties.
Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
Why do what you will regret? Why bring tears upon yourself? Do only what you do not regret, And fill yourself with joy.
