It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
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.

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.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship… To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
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.
