Be virtuous.

Never boast.

Never gossip.

Never stop aiding.

Share what you eat.

Begging is shameful.

Never degrade learning.

Never give up enthusiasm.

Do intend to do right things.

Never stop learning or reading.

Never compromise in food grains.

Help others based on your capacities.

Take no decisions during times of anger.

Each virtue is as powerful as the energies

of seven oceans compressed into one atom.

And, farthest beyond thought, never say never.

. . . . . . .
