"Ye dhammā hetuppabhavā, tesaṃ hetuṃ tathāgato āha,
tesañca yo nirodho, evaṃvādī mahāsamaṇo’ti."
(Sāriputtattheraapadāna)
Of those states that have arisen from a cause, their cause is explained by the Tathāgata,
and the cessation of those; this is what the great Sramana teaches.

( #Dhammapada Yamaka Vagga)
The unessential they imagine as essential,
In the essential, they see as unessential,
they never realise the essence,
who entertain such wrong thoughts.

Manujassa pamattacārino

For a human who lives life heedlessly
craving increases like a clinging creeper,
He rushes from one place to another
like a monkey desiring fruit in the forest.

"Piyato jāyatī soko, piyato jāyatī bhayaṁ,
piyato vippamuttassa natthi soko, kuto bhayaṁ?"

From love there arises grief, from love there arises fear,
For one who is free from love, there is no grief; how can there be fear?

Yathā agāraṁ succhannaṁ vuṭṭhī na samativijjhati,
evaṁ subhāvitaṁ cittaṁ rāgo na samativijjhati.
Just as rain cannot penetrate
a well-roofed house,
So also, passion (raga) cannot penetrate a mind well-cultivated
in Tranquillity and Insight Development (Samatha and Vipassana).

One should not consider the faults of others, nor their doing or not doing good or bad deeds.
One should consider only whether one has done or not done good or bad deeds.

One indeed is one's own refuge; how can others be a refuge to one? With oneself thoroughly tamed, one can attain a refuge (Arahatta Phala), which is so difficult to attain.

You shall not come again to birth and decay.

A person is not an outcaste by birth, nor is he a noble individual merely by birth.
It is through actions that one becomes an outcaste, and through actions, one becomes a noble person.

"Dūraṅgamaṁ ekacaraṁ,

Faring far, wandering alone, bodiless, lying in a cave, is the mind.
Those who subdue it are freed from the bond of Māra.
