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

The Ill-directed mind can do to you even worse

Happy indeed are the arahants! No craving can be found in them. Cut off is the conceit 'I am,' Burst asunder is delusion's net.

Peace comes from within; do not try to seek it without.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Do not have as friends harmful people, the wise person does not associate with the worst of people. Have as friends virtuous people, the wise person associates with the best of people.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.
