If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong. Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the dharma.

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

He who wrongs the innocent must bear the fruit of his act, like dust flung against the wind.

Your worst enemy is your best teacher.

One who previously made bad karma, but who reforms and creates good karma, brightens the world like the moon appearing from behind a cloud.

Be a lamp unto yourselves! Work out your liberation with diligence! Fill your mind with compassion!

How wonderful, how miraculous, all beings, but all beings, are fully endowed with the wisdom and power of the Tathagat. But, sadly, human beings, due to sticky attachments, are not aware of it
