Quotations
Gautama Buddha

Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
