"Whenever a great physician treats diseases, he has to be mentally calm and his disposition firm. He should not give way to wishes and desires, but has to develop first a marked attitude of compassion. He should commit himself firmly to the willingness to take the effort to save every living creature."
"Doctors should first understand the cause of disease, then treat it with diet. Medicine should only be used if diet fails"
"Above all, I will keep an open heart. As I move on the right path I will recieve great happiness as a reward without asking for anything in return."
