All compounded things are subject to decay. Strive with diligence!

Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.

Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.

With good will for the entire cosmos, cultivate a limitless heart: above, below, and all around, unobstructed, without hostility or hate.

The kingdom of heaven is closer than the brow above the eye but mankind does not see it.

Look upon him who shows you your faults as a revealer of treasure: seek his company who checks and chides you, the sage who is wise in reproof: it fares well and not ill with him who seeks such company.

Joy and openness come from our own contented heart.
