Gautama Buddha 2

NOTHING IS FOREVER EXCEPT CHANGE

The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live,and that is the present moment

With our thoughts we make the world.

Attachment leads to suffering

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.

be greatly aware of the present

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think.

The mind is everything. What you think, you become

Words have the power to both destroy and heal.When words are both true and kind, they can change our world

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.

Peace comes from within.Do not seek it without.

Gautama Buddha 1

In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

You only lose what you cling to

Peace comes from within.Do not seek it without

Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Doubt everything.Find your own light

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional

Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
