He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana.

Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt.

So long as dualism is adhered to, there is no Nirvana, no self-realisation. Light and shadow, long and short, black and white-they are mutually related; when they stand alone each by itself, they have no meaning. So with Nirvana.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

He who walks in the eightfold noble path with unswerving determination is sure to reach Nirvana.
