Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.

Be lamps unto yourselves; be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.

Our own worst enemy cannot harm us as much as our unwise thoughts. No one can help us as much as our own compassionate thoughts.

Yet the Teaching is simple. Do what is right. Be pure. At the end of the way is freedom.

Thought-habits can harden into character. So watch your thoughts.

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
