"Avoid harmful actions, cultivate good, and purify the mind." This is the teaching of all Buddhas, the Buddha in the Dhammapada

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
This is a nice condensation of what the Buddha teaches. He tells us ethically we need to stop doing bad things, things that are harmful not to others so much, but to ourselves, and at the same time, actively take up good things, do positive things, replace impatience with patience, replace greediness or grasping with generosity. And then he says purify the mind. And by this he means calm the mind, settle the mind, relax the mind, and develop a mind of wisdom, of spaciousness of understanding and above all, of seeing clearly. So, these three simple statements avoid harmful actions, do good, and purify the mind, this is the essence of what all the Buddhas teach.
