Simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.

 

Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations.


                         If there is to be peace in the nations,
                         There must be peace in the cities.

                         If there is to be peace in the cities,
                         There must be peace between neighbors.

                         If there is to be peace between neighbors, 

                         There must be peace in the home.

                         If there is to be peace in the home,
                         There must be peace in the heart.

See simplicity in the complicated



Seek greatness in little things. In the Universe, the difficult things are done as if they were easy.

To the mind that is still





the whole universe surrenders.

The highest good is like that of water.



The goodness of water is that it benefits the tens of thousands of creatures, yet it does not scramble, but it is content with the places that all men disdain.

Self-acceptance



Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.

If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

kindness

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

be yourself, be free

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
