Through our senses the world appears. Through our reactions we create delusions.Without reactions the world becomes clear.

Those who recognize the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy, and its cessation, have fathomed the four noble truths. They will walk in the right path.

Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.

By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.

Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.

If you can keep as silent as a broken gong, then you have attained, when you know no anger.

If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs,follow that wise man ; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.
