Mind is the forerunner of states. Mind is chief; mind-made are they. If one speaks or acts with a wicked mind, because of that, suffering follows one, even as the wheel follows the hoof of the ox. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, because of that, happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.

Sole dominion over the earth, going to heaven, lordship over all the worlds: the fruit of stream-entry excels them.

Mindfulness is the way to the Deathless (Nibbana); unmindfulness is the way to Death. Those who are mindful do not die; those who are not mindful are as if already dead.

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

The mind is difficult to control; swiftly and lightly, it moves and lands wherever it pleases. It is good to tame the mind, for a well-tamed mind brings happiness.
