If you sleep, Desire grows in you Like a vine in the forest. Like a monkey in the forest You jump from tree to tree, Never finding the fruit - From life to life, Never finding peace. If you are filled with desire Your sorrows swell Like the grass after the rain. But if you subdue desire Your sorrows shall fall from you Like drops of water from a lotus flower.

If you're respectful by habit, constantly honoring the worthy, four things increase: long life, beauty, happiness, strength.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

There is pleasure And there is bliss. Forgo the first to possess the second. If you are happy At the expense of another man's happiness, You are forever bound.

The Ill-directed mind can do to you even worse

Analyzing through special insight and realizing the lack of inherent existence constitute understanding of the signless.

Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.
