There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.

Mindfulness of the body leads to nirvana.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream A flash of lightning in a summer cloud A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream

Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.

Look within, thou art the Buddha.

Do not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
