Religious Texts

So one of my term papers is on explicating a religious text. That is, a small part of it. Like a verse form the bible.

My professor has basically told me not to do the bible because everyone else would do it, and she specifically wants something from an (sort of) Asian religion.

It can be philosophical as well, but really I just need something that can be explicated. Not like essays and stuff.

I'm not too familiar with religions outside of the couple of major ones, so do you guys have any suggestions? Anything will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe Dhammapada from Buddha http://www.serve.com/cmtan/Dhammapada

Or Tao Te Ching http://www.sacred-texts.com/tao/taote.htm

Any particular verses you'd suggest?

Here's a discourse of the Buddha on "right speech."
