One who previously made bad karma, but who reforms and creates good karma, brightens the world like the moon appearing from behind a cloud.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

Offend in neither word nor deed. Eat with moderation. Live in your heart. Seek the highest consciousness. Master yourself according to the law. This is the simple teaching of the awakened.

You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.

You can search the entire universe and not find a single being more worthy of love than you.

Holding on to anger is like poisoning yourself and hoping someone else will die.
