To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
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.
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.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
