Pearls of Wisdom

11

Do not lightly make a promise unless it is right and appropriate; for if you promise carelessly, you may find yourself unable to advance or retreat without error. Do not lightly spread your opinion unless it is right and true; for if you spread carelessly, you may diminish your virtue and damage your reputation.

Buddha Jigong

12

When dealing with people and handling affairs, one should embody both principle and flexibility. Be upright and principled in conduct, yet gentle and accommodating in interactions. Remain lively, adaptable, and able to respond appropriately to variant circumstances. In this way, your actions will have proper standards and measure, and your effort will bring true fulfillment.

Buddha Jigong

13

Virtue is not determined by age; without wisdom, one merely grows older in vain.

Buddha Jigong

14

Those who share the same aspiration are companions; those who walk the same spiritual path are friends.

Buddha Jigong
