Our body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
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.
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.
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
