The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.

How can a troubled mind Understand the way? If a man is disturbed He will never be filled with knowledge. An untroubled mind, No longer seeking to consider What is right and what is wrong, A mind beyond judgements, Watches and understands. Know that the body is a fragile jar, And make a castle of your mind. In every trial Let understanding fight for you To defend what you have won.

The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.

We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

Wherever there is possession of marks, there is fraud ; wherever there is no-possession of no-marks, there is no fraud. Hence the Tathagata is to be seen from no-marks as marks.

One who, while seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other living beings who also desire happinesss, will not find happiness hereafter.
