But ...meat eating in any form, in any manner, and in any place is unconditionally and once and for all prohibited ...Meat eating I have not permitted to anyone, I do not permit, I will not permit.

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.

Greed is an imperfection that defiles the mind; hate is an imperfection that defiles the mind; delusion is an imperfection that defiles the mind.

Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.

Household life is crowded and dusty; life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.

There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

When wishes are few, the heart is happy. When craving ends, there is peace.
