When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending each other. May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness- the children, the aged, the unprotected- be guarded by beneficent celestials, and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

It is easy to see the faults of others... it is hard to see our own.

‎You only lose that which you cling to.

By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.

You have to do your own work; Enlightened Ones will only show the way. Those who practise meditation will free themselves from the chains of death

He who causes suffering shall suffer. There is no escape.
