We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
