These are the important things in life:
Cultivating a good heart.
Cultivating a good mind.
Cultivating good deeds.

The unimportant things are used and then used up.
The important things are used but never used up.

When the heart, the mind and deeds are cultivated properly,
you may call someone good.

When two hearts are in tune with one another
the universe sings.

When a heart is never in tune with another
the universe trembles.
6.
A happy heart is a shared heart.
7.
An educated heart is a generous heart.
8.
An empty heart rattles.
It is the noise of the ego in love with itself.

When the heart, the mind and the deed go together,
the world becomes good.
In a good world, everyone can be happy.
