Born out of concern for all beings.

One who is unrestrained in life-delusion overcomes; as the wind a weak tree.

To eat meat is just a habit after we were born. In fact, we are not born to eat meat.

We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end.

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
