Master your words. Master your thoughts. Never allow your body to do harm. Follow these three roads with purity And you will find yourself upon the one way, The way of wisdom.

If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they would not eat without having given.

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

If you hold yourself dear, protect yourself well.

Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.

When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
