We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
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?
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.
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.
