Be quick to do good. If you are slow, the mind, delighting in mischief, will catch you.

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.

Care about your children. Just bless them instead of worrying, as every child is the little Buddha who helps his parents to grow up.

Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

The discipline which I have imparted to you will lead you when I am gone. Practice mindfulness diligently, to attain the goal of awakening.

Do not believe what you have heard Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down many generations Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times Do not believe because the written statements come from some old sage Do not believe in conjecture Do not believe in authority, or teachers, or elders But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.
