We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
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.
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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 two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
