All wrongdoing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrongdoing remain?
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
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 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.
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.
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.
