The wind cannot shake a mountain. Neither praise nor blame moves the wise man.

With our thoughts we make the world.

Rain falls, wind blows, plants bloom, leaves mature and are blown away; these phenomena are all interrelated with causes and conditions, are brought about by them, and disappear as the causes and conditions change.

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. The elephant hauls himself from the mud. In the same way drag yourself out of your sloth.

If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

What you think you become.

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.
