Passion is overcome only by him who has won through stillness of spirit the perfect vision; it comes through the contentment that is regardless of the world.

That which is seen and that which is touched are of a dream-like and illusion-like nature. Because feeling arises together with the mind, it is not [ultimately] perceived.

All that may be wished for, will by nature fade to nothing.

Why be unhappy about something if it can be remedied? And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?

All the happiness there is in this world Arises from wishing others to be happy. And all the suffering there is in this world Arises from wishing oneself to be happy.

How wonderful will it be when all beings experience each other as limbs on the one body of life.

My body, thus, and all my good besides, And all my merits gained and to be gained, I give them all away withholding nothing To bring about the benefit of beings.
