By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.

Live happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.

Joy and openness come from our own contented heart.

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.

Monks, when ignorance is abandoned, and knowledge arises in the monk, with the ending of ignorance and the arising of knowledge he clings neither to sense-pleasures, nor does he cling to views, nor to precepts and vows, nor to a Self-doctrine. Not clinking, he is not disturbed; not disturbed, he attains individually nibbana.

All compounded things are subject to decay. Strive with diligence!

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
