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

To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.

Be your own lamps. Be your own shelters. Hang on to the truth as a lamp. Hang on to the truth as a refuge.

Don't just do something, be there.

If a viper lives in your room and you wish to have a peaceful sleep, you must first chase it out.

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

Better than a long speech is a single quietening word.
