From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
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 shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
