Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.

The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
