Whatever suffering there is in this world,all arises from desiring only myself to be happy.And whatever joy there is in this world,all arises from desiring to share my happiness with everyone.

Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.

Make an island of yourself, make yourself your refuge; there is no other refuge. Make truth your island, make truth your refuge; there is no other refuge.

Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.

Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.

Your suffering is my suffering and your happiness is my happiness.

You must take action yourself, for Buddhas only teach the way.
