Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.

Pity arises when we are sorry for someone.Compassion is when we understand and help wisely.

Let us live in joy, never falling sick like those who hate us. Let us live in freedom, without hatred even among those who hate.

How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.

Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream A flash of lightning in a summer cloud A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream

For fear of causing terror to living beings, Mahamati, let the Bodhisattva who is disciplining himself to attain compassion, refrain from eating flesh.
