Through the round of many births I roamed without reward, without rest, seeking the house-builder.

Painful is birth again & again.

House-builder, you're seen!
You will not build a house again.
All your rafters broken,
the ridge pole destroyed,
gone to the Unformed,
the mind has come to the end of craving.

Additional quotes by The Buddha

Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit; even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel.

Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small; however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.

No hay que juntarse con malas compañías, no hay que juntarse con compañías despreciables. Júntate con buenas compañías, júntate con compañías nobles. Guishan, el maestro zen clásico, escribió en sus famosas Admoniciones: «La compañía de los buenos es como caminar entre el rocío y la niebla; aunque a uno no le mojen la ropa, ésta termina por empaparse de humedad. La familiaridad con el mal aumenta el conocimiento y los puntos de vista erróneos, creando mal día y noche.»
