Quotations
Gautama Buddha

Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
