Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

Sound health is the greatest of gifts; contentedness, the greatest of riches; trust, the greatest of qualities.

Victory breeds hatred; the defeated live in pain. The peaceful live happily, giving up victory and defeat.

Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger

Dispassion is the best of mental states. . . .

Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.

Those who awaken never rest in one place. Like swans, they rise and leave the lake. On the air they rise and fly an invisible course. Their food is knowledge. They live on emptiness. They have seen how to break free. Who can follow them?
