"The ignorant are caught in the cycle of birth and death."

"All men who are ignorant are miserable; all who are wise are happy."

"One who neglects or disregards the existence of earth, air, fire, water, and vegetation disregards his own existence which is entwined with them."

"Live and allow others to live; hurt no one; life is dear to all living beings."

"Do not kill. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not be unchaste. Do not possess anything."
