Praise and blame, Gain and Loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all. |
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. |
If your compassion does not include you, it is incomplete. |
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. |
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. |
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. |
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth and faithfulness the best relationship. |
As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise. |
There are only two mistakes one can make on the road to truth; not going all the way and not starting. |
The true master lives in truth, In goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation and purity. |
