All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.
Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
I will not look at another’s bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.
If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.
