Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.

May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.

If a man offend a harmless, pure, and innocent person, the evil falls back upon that fool, like light dust thrown up against the wind.

When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.

Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.

If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
