The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

Whoever sees me sees the teaching, and whoever sees the teaching sees me.

Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.

All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.

Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may escape from the results of evil deeds.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
