From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
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.
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.
