A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.

I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake on Earth as a drop of oil on my foot.

Wonder of wonders! Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, endowed with wisdom and virtue, but because men's minds have become inverted through delusive thinking they fail to perceive this.

Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well spoken words; This is good luck.

You are your own master, you make your own future. Therefore discipline yourself as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred

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

Whoever doesn't flare up at someone who's angry wins a battle hard to win.
