Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
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.
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.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
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.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
