It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
