Your name or your body, what is dearer? Your body or your wealth, what is worthier?
Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return.

Cautious, like crossing a river in the winter.
When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.
The more laws that are written, the more criminals are produced.
