Quotations
Peace
Price of peace could only be valued by people who had suffered loss in the war.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada"
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
