Never by hatred is hatred appeased, but it is appeased by kindness. This is an eternal truth.

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.

Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.

I call wise man who, while he is innocent , endures insults and blows with a patience equal to its strength.

May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

He who has renounced all violence towards all living beings, weak or strong, who neither kills nor causes others to kill - him I do call a holy man.
