From The Buddhist Scriptures

1
 "I don't envision a single thing that, when developed &
cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The
mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."
2
"Directing one's mind to the states
of faith, learning,
generosity, and wisdom,
one has a comfortable abiding.

3
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the
future, concentrate the mind
on the present moment. 4
"The householder who is
a faithful seeker and in
whom dwells truth,
Dharma, steadiness, and
generosity, does not
sorrow when he or she
passes away".

5
 To live a pure unselfish life,
one must count nothing as one's own
in the midst of abundance.
6
Hatred does not cease through hatred at any
time. Hatred ceases through love.
This is the Eternal Law. 7
 If a man who
enjoys a lesser
happiness beholds
a greater one, let
him leave aside
the lesser to gain
the greater.

8
Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to
perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought
which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness.

9
Teach this triple truth to all:
A generous heart, kind
speech, and a life of service
and compassion
are the things
which renew humanity.

10
Meditation brings wisdom; lack of
meditation breeds ignorance.
Know well what leads you forward
and what holds you back,
and choose the path
that leads to wisdom.

11
 The End

When Words of Truth are

reflected on and actualized,
one will become truly happy,
peaceful, free and wise.
