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.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
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.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
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.
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.
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
