It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
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.
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.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
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.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
