Craving brings pain; craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear

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

Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

If one man kills a hundred men, and another man masters himself, the second man is the much greater warrior.

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.

May everyone be happy and safe, and may their hearts be filled with joy.

The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters hiself and minds the law.
