“It starts with honesty- honesty to others and honesty to oneself.”  

“Honesty must be balanced with non-injury and loving-kindness. You should practice honesty most of the time.”

“Loving-kindness is the the basis behind all the other laws.”

 “If honesty is in conflict with loving-kindness and non-injury, loving-kindness and non-injury supersede honesty.”

 “When you master honesty, your mind becomes razor sharp. You can penetrate very deeply-seeing things as they are without delusions.”  

“Do things because you think they are right, because you think they are good! A person with a sharp mind and an iron will can do almost anything.”

 “Do not use honesty to hurt other people! Do not use honesty as an excuse to be verbally sadistic.”

 “If you want to understand deep esoteric teachings, you must practice a high degree of honesty.”

 “Practicing a high degree of honesty is the key to becoming a genius.”

 “Maintain humility! You have to be honest with yourself. Self-honesty results in rapid spiritual development and humility.”  

“Self-honesty is what you call humility. You have to be aware of your strong points and your weak points. To progress spiritually, one must have awareness, self-honesty and the will to transform.”

 “You have to face reality to progress spiritually. Practice self-honesty without excessive self-judgment. Otherwise the disciple will become psychologically imbalanced.”

 “The negative self image about yourself is not you. The negative image created by other people about you is not you.”  

“Truth is universal. Truth is based on validation, not on emotion. Truth is honesty in a harmless way. Truth is dynamic.”

 “Different people can have different opinions and still be right. There are different levels of truth and different facets of truth.”

 “Truth is like water or air; it should be made available to people who are ready. When people are ready, truth is revealed piece by piece.”

 “Truth is simple, but it is not obvious to common people.”
