The renunciation of doing harm is the perfection of discipline

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

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.

While others are engaged in inferior and menial tasks in which they encounter many difficulties, how can I sit here at peace and do nothing? I must and shall benefit them, but without ever succumbing to the poison of self-importance.

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?

The source of all happiness lies in thinking of others.

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.
