No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
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.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
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.
