Better than a long speech is a single quietening word.

One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.

Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame; The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss. Insignificant, is the increase of relatives, wealth and fame; The increase of wisdom is the highest gain. Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: "We will grow in the increase of wisdom" Thus you should train yourselves.

Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.

Don't blindly believe what I say. Don't believe me because others convince you of my words. Don't believe anything you see, read, or hear from others, whether of authority, religious teachers or texts.

One should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should one incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.

A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
