• What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil, envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
• All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon…. If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.
• It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you.

• If a man’s thoughts are muddy, If he is reckless and full of deceit, How can he wear the yellow robe? Whoever is master of his own nature, Bright, clear and true, He may indeed wear the yellow robe.
• Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
• Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine
• What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.
• For soon the body is discarded, Then what does it feel? A useless log of wood, it lies on the ground, Then what does it know? Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.
• If you are quiet enough, you will hear the flow of the universe. You will feel its rhythm. Go with this flow. Happiness lies ahead. Meditation is key.
• Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day’s life of one who is wise and meditative.
• Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.
• If you meditate earnestly, pure in mind and kind in deeds, leading a disciplined life in harmony with the dharma, you will grow in glory. If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.

• Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
• You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserves your love and affection.
• There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
• True love is born from understanding.
• Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.
• Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.
• Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.
• Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.

• If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
• To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.
• If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

• ‎Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
• As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgement but rain your kindness equally on all.
• In separateness lies the world’s greatest misery; in compassion lies the world’s true strength.
• For the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world.
• People with opinions just go around bothering each other.
• Whatever living beings there may be feeble or strong, long, stout, or of medium size, short, small, large, those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born as well as those yet to be born may all beings have happy minds.
• The tongue like a sharp knife kills without drawing blood.
• Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
• You will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger.
• Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity.

• Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

• Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
• However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act upon them?
• To support mother and father, to cherish wife and children, and to be engaged in peaceful occupation — this is the greatest blessing.
• Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.
