        And who knows the path of of peace: let them be able and upright,

        '
        Do not accept any of my words on faith, believing them just because I said them.

        Only accept what passes the test
        By proving useful and beneficial in your life. - Gautama Buddha

        In some clear lake reflected,

        Of horses, oxen, carts and other things
        Nothing is as it appears. - Samadhi Raja Sutra'
