Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.

Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.

When phenomena are individually analyzed as selfless, and what has been analyzed is meditated upon, that is the cause for attaining the fruit, nirvana. One does not go to peace through any other cause

When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
