Keep in mind, folks, according to zendo's willingness to admit when two correct words have been used:
"and," and "truth" cannot be the second word.
"practice," and "through" cannot be the third word.
"the," and "insight" cannot be the fourth word.
"path," and "meditation" cannot be the fifth word.
That being said: "Know how to liberate yourself" would be my guess.
I'm going to take an off-clue turn just because this is bugging me and making my head hurt. I was thinking to myself, what is the core teaching of Buddhism? What are the most important concepts that all of the teachings support and reinforce?

Now here's someone who's paying attention!
Great guess, too--but still only one word "right".
First of all Dhamma Dhatu, good for you, remembering the first word!
That you forgot the second is overshadowed by the fact that your guess is closer (in meaning, if not in wording) to the correct answer than any other guess so far.
For the first time, we can speak of being "in the ballpark"...

The quote involves both knowledge and action.
or
Practice dana, sila and bhavana.
Clue 1: The first word is a verb.
Clue 2: The answer involves knowledge and action.
"purify your mind, develop wisdom."
:crazy:
I might make this into a bumper-sticker, actually.
Whoever he is he came after the Buddha you know
DD,
The hints so far were: Answer starts with a verb, and contains 'knowledge' and 'action'.
I like it--and you're paying attention to the clues, which is by no means a given.
I think it's time for the third clue.
Clue #3: The first word is "Know".
Zendo, sorry about my misquoting the clues.
(There are too many things that can be said in a mere five words, even with clues. lol)
No apology necessary my friend--you noticed the clues, which is a good start!
consummate in knowledge & conduct = five words
Clue #3: The first word is "know".
After that, arrival at the solution should proceed at an accelerated rate--even taking into account Dhamma Dhatu's continued missing of the clues.
"and," and "truth" cannot be the second word.
"practice," and "through" cannot be the third word.
"the," and "insight" cannot be the fourth word.
"path," and "meditation" cannot be the fifth word.
That being said: "Know how to liberate yourself" would be my guess.
knowledge & conduct is consummate = five words
"Know the Four Noble Truths."
know or be eaten alive
know or die i say
know this, don't know that
know what yer mamma knows
knowing knowers nullifies the nose
Know reality as it is.
....That I'm losing the will to live, here....:mad:
Jeesh, I wish I could say this is fun, but really, I hope the final phrase is going to be worth the wait.:rolleyes:
5 words = Practice mindfulness instead of papanca.
.
Know that I second this.
Great guess, too--but still only one word "right".
Ironically, Pietro Pumpkin's guess "Know what yer mamma knows" has correctly discovered the second word!
We now have:
Come on now, people: save federica's life by bringing it home!
'Know actions and their results' = five words
That you forgot the second is overshadowed by the fact that your guess is closer (in meaning, if not in wording) to the correct answer than any other guess so far.

So "know what [three action words]"
Know what to act like?
Know what right action is?
_____ ____ _____ is best.
_____ ____ ____ is right.
Know what buttons to push?
Sincerely,
