- Your actions consist entirely of things that should not be done, and you have even forgotten right mindfulness.
- Faith, Vow, and Practice all arise from the power of Conditions (Pratyaya).
- A Bodhisattva must know things as they truly are (Yathābhūta-jñāna), not as they appear through habitual conditioning.
- If you use a tire as a parasol, how can that broken-down car ever move?
- Perfume yourself with the Right Dharma like an incense maker; no matter how thoroughly you wash, the fragrance will always permeate your body and mind.
- Life is like a fish in shrinking water; you must be as diligent as one extinguishing a fire on their own head.
