Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there is black. Just like these, as the self-nature of things can not exist alone, they are called non-substantial.

There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.

Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

Release old concepts and energies that keep you in self-punishment patterns. Release old stories and create from a place of love and self-validation. You are worth it!

Just as the bee takes the nectar and leaves without damaging the color or scent of the flowers, so should the sage act in a village.
