All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
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.
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
