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.
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.
