Life is short and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short: Act so that you have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves and hold fast to this rule.

Hasten slowly and ye shall soon arrive.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

Mental activity in the daytime creates a latent form of habitual thought which again transforms itself at night into various delusory visions sensed by the semi-consciousness. This is called the deceptive and magic-like Bardo of Dream.

My religion is not deceiving myself.

Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest.

Do not entertain hopes for realization, but practice all your life.
