It is better to do nothing Than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

You are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand. You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.

Moved by their selfish desires, people seek after fame and glory. But when they have acquired it, they are already stricken in years. If you hanker after worldly fame and practise not the Way, your labors are wrongfully applied and your energy is wasted. It is like unto burning an incense stick. However much its pleasing odor be admired, the fire that consumes is steadily burning up the stick.

Suffering is temporary, enlightenment is forever.

Dignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.
