 If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Buddha
If the mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?***** All wrong-doing arises because of mind.
Buddha
a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.***** An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; Buddha ***** Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Buddha
***** Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha ***** Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha ***** Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
Buddha
***** Buddha ***** Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Buddha
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. Buddha ***** However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
Buddha
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased***** striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.
Buddha
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.
Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.*****
Buddha
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.***** Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha
