with hearts pure and clean
like newly fallen snow,

with patience impartial and accepting
like the earth,

with compassion broad and all-encompassing
like the universe,

awakened ones help others.

think first.

once a word is spoken
or an act committed,
we cannot undo the deed.

apologies
retractions
explanations

may lessen, but cannot undo
the harm done,
the pain that will remain.

think first.

a deeply rooted tree
which is cut down
will grow again.

like that tree
intolerance that is not uprooted
will rise again.

why take pride in this body
and in possessions,
they do not last.

they are like castles in the sand
swept away by the tide,
like the scent of a flower
carried off by the wind.

the self is not an independent entity
with an individual existence,

but a convenient point of reference
which enables us to relate
to the world around us and
to the circumstances we encounter.

be wary of actions —

for the occasional reaction

can become an addictive habit.

the acorn and oak tree are separate;
or are they?

the wood and flame are separate;
or are they?

the act and actor are separate;
or are they?

we are alone and separate from all else;
or are we?

live contentedly with modest means
be worthy instead of being praised
think quietly
talk gently
act wisely
understand the past
care about the future.

it is far wiser to remain
honourable in silence
than to be
dishonourable in speech.

clinging narrows the heart,
giving broadens it.

clinging paralyses the heart,
giving liberates it.

clinging darkens the heart,
giving brightens it.
