No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
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.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
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.
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.
