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.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
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.
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
