Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.
Train yourself first before training others, for it is difficult to train one's own self.
A great gift a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
Your greatest weapon is your enemy's mind.
One who, while seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other living beings who also desire happinesss, will not find happiness hereafter.
Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck.
Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.
Don't keep searching for the truth, just let go of your opinions.
