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.
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
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.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
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.
