As one progresses on the path, one seeks silence more and more. It will be a great comfort, a tremendous source of solace and peace.
Once you find deep solitude and calm, there will be a great gladness in your heart. Here finally is the place where you need neither defense or offense -- the place where you can truly be open. There will be bliss, wonder, the awe of attaining something pure and sacred.
After that, you will find adoration of silence. This is the peace that seems to elude so many. This is the beauty of Tao.
Which big pleasure which of you count among my friends' list, I like very much that you make continue even one thousand thank you and still for a long time
Generosity is the best friend, And the Dharma is the most precious gem. When common topaz is valued highly, This will cause the ruin of the world.
Whatever there be on the surface of earth- Property, gold, cattle, good health- None od these truly satisfy man. Tranquillity arises from this understanding.
Wealth, hoarded with great pains And grought out and admired at times, Resembles the starving mouse who hoards his store- Such wealth is only a source of misery.
Earthly life is not stable; Wealth and enjoyment never last. Wife and child will not endure, So trust in the Dharma and follow its teachings.
