If a person does not harm any living being...and does not kill or cause others to kill - that person is a true spiritual practitioner

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.

To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear.

A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.

For those struggling in midstream, in great fear of the flood, of growing old and of dying for all those I say, an island exists where there is no place for impediments, no place for clinging: the island of no going beyond. I call it nirvana, the complete destruction of old age and dying.

All phenomena link together in a mutually conditioning network.
