When a man venerates those worthy of veneration, be they Buddhas or their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond sorrow and tears - venerating such as these, whose passions are extinguished and for whom there is no further source for fear, no one can calculate how great his merit is.

Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.

If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.

Abstain from all sinful, unwholesome actions, perform only pious wholesome ones, purify the mind; this is the teaching of enlightened ones

Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.

It is your mind that creates the world.

If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.
