Don’t Indulge the Wild Mind： The Buddha said, “Be careful not to believe your own mind; your mind is not to be believed. Be careful not to get involved with sex; involvement with sex leads to disaster. After you have attained Arhatship, you can believe your own mind.” – Sutra of Forty-Two Sections, Section 28 第二十八章．意马莫纵 佛言。慎勿信汝意。汝意不可信。慎勿与色会。色会即祸生。得阿罗汉已。乃可信汝意。
Staying Mindful of Moral Precepts Brings Us Close to the Way： The Buddha said, “My disciples may be several thousand miles away from me, but if they remember my moral precepts, they will certainly attain the fruition of the Way. If those who are by my side do not follow my moral precepts, they may see me constantly, but in the end they will not attain the Way.” – Sutra of Forty-Two Sections, Section 37 第三十七章．念戒近道 佛言。佛子离吾数千里。忆念吾戒。必得道果。在吾左右。虽常见吾。不顺吾戒。终不得道。

“If you have divine motives, material benefits will follow suit but they are no longer material; they have become divine.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini
Desire is the tie that binds us from lifetime to lifetime. Desire and will are twins. The use of our will, good or ill, in past lives turn into our rewards/reparation for this time life. 佛经说：“欲知前世因，今生受者是；欲知来世果，今生作者是。”说的今生所受的善恶性果报，都是自己所种的业因，是自种因，自受果。请看32 个详细图解佛教因果定律， 点击每个图可以看到高清。
Each of us are ultimately answer to ourselves. Self governance start from each individual responsible for self cultivation in thoughts, speech and actions. Confucius Great Learning said to us: Cultivate the self, regulate the family, govern the state, then lead the world to peace. 物格而后知至；知至而后意诚；意诚而后心正；心正而后身修；身修而后家齐；家齐而后国治；国治而后天下平。
