We should never speak or act out of anger or hatred. When our minds go astray, we may give rise to hatred and resentment, which may bring about unfathomable disaster.

True happiness in life is having peace of mind and not material comfort, for all material objects are as illusory as bubbles and as fleeting as the floating clouds in the sky.
