To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
