It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.

Let a man overcome anger by love.

When a man venerates those worthy of veneration, be they Buddhas or their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond sorrow and tears - venerating such as these, whose passions are extinguished and for whom there is no further source for fear, no one can calculate how great his merit is.

There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

He who, seeking his own happiness, punishes or kills beings who also long for happiness, will not find happiness after his death.

Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.

Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
