Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.

All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

Careful amidst the careless, amongst the sleeping wide-awake, the intelligent man leaves them all behind, like a race-horse does a mere hack.

If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with a fool.

Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not.

Let a man overcome anger by love.
