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

All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.

We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end.

Happy indeed are the arahants! No craving can be found in them. Cut off is the conceit 'I am,' Burst asunder is delusion's net.

It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
