Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
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.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
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.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
