From a withered tree, a flower blooms

By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.

If you find someone with wisdom, good judgment, and good actions; make him a companion.

It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.

Perfect wisdom, Perfect tranquility,Perfect compassion,arise fromOur love,Our sincerity.Our understanding.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.
