A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is light by day and right mindfulness is protection by night.
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.
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.
