It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
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.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
