Soft to the weak and noble for the strong.

Pity and need
Make all flesh kin. There is no caste in blood.

A little rain will fill
The lily's cup which hardly moists the field.

The Light of Asia (1879)

What good I see humbly I seek to do,
And live obedient to the law, in trust
That what will come, and must come, shall come well.

The Light of Asia (1879)

The Buddhas who have been and who shall be, of these am I and what they did, I do.

The school
Where round their Guru, in a grave half-moon,
The Sâkya children sang their mantras through,
And learned the greater and the lesser gods.
