Quotations
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

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.
