A fool acquires knowledge only to his own disadvantage. It destroys what good he has, and turns his brains.

The masters only point the way. But if you meditate And follow the dharma You will free yourself from desire. 'Everything arises and passes away.' When you see this, you are above sorrow. This is the shining way.

Analyzing through special insight and realizing the lack of inherent existence constitute understanding of the signless.

If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs,follow that wise man ; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.

Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance.
