Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship… To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me - deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realised only by the wise.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
