It is in this way that I went forth to teach.

How can one ever know anything if they are too busy thinking?

Master your words. Master your thoughts. Never allow your body to do harm. Follow these three roads with purity And you will find yourself upon the one way, The way of wisdom.

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

This is deathless: the liberation of the mind through lack of clinging.

This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
