When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.

The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.

Transmit the established facts; do not transmit words of exaggeration. If you do that, you will probably come out all right.

Your preciousness lies in your essence; it cannot be lost by anything that happens.

To use what has a boundary to pursue what is limitless is dangerous; with this knowledge, if we still go after knowledge, we will run into trouble. Do not do what is good in order to gain praise. If you do what is bad be sure to avoid the punishment. Follow the Middle Course, for this is the way to keep yourself together, to sustain your life, to care for your parents and to live for many years.

Perfect happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
