Quotations
Gautama Buddha
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
