Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.

Nothing is to be clung to as I, me or mine

Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck.

We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end.

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.

Abstain from all sinful, unwholesome actions, perform only pious wholesome ones, purify the mind; this is the teaching of enlightened ones

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
