The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions

Not by mere eloquence, nor by handsome appearance, does a man become good-natured, should he be jealous, selfish and deceitful.

Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.

A disciplined mind brings happiness.

You yourself must earnestly practice, the enlightened ones only proclaim the path.

For those who are always courteous and respectful of elders, four things increase: life, beauty, happiness and strength.

Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.
