A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
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.
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.
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?
