Believe nothing merely because you have been told it.

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
