“When you come upon a paththat brings benefit and happiness to all,follow this courseas the moonjourneys through the stars.”

“Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.”

“Following the Noble Path is like entering a dark room with a light in the hand; the darkness will all be cleared away, and the room will be filled with light.”

“A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.”

“From a withered tree, a flower blooms”
