Restraining Yourself and Loving Others

What speaks to me today are these lines from Verses from the Center by Nagarjuna, translated by Stephen Batchelor:

Buddha taught that acts
Are motives of the mind
And words and gestures
You are moved to express.

Restraining yourself
And loving others
Are seeds that bear fruit
In this life and beyond.
