As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.

To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts. Rule your mind or it will rule you.

Happy indeed are the arahants! No craving can be found in them. Cut off is the conceit 'I am,' Burst asunder is delusion's net.

Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.

Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.
