Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
