"The soul is the only thing that is permanent; everything else is impermanent."

"Conquer your passions and you will conquer the world."

"As a great warrior is not afraid of a battle, so should a monk not be afraid of death."

"All souls are alike in nature, and all souls are potentially alike in development."

"All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away."
