An eye for an eye....we are all blind

Your motivation should be sincere and your life should be of benefit to some people. That is the main thing. Don't care after my death.

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

Once your mind is calm and full of love, there is no room for hatred or fear. Others will trust you because of your open heart.

pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements; more experts,but more problems ; more medicines but less health.

If we choose an external marker as the measure of our inner worth, whether it is the amount of money we make, or others' opinion of us, or the success of some project we're involved in, sooner or later we're bound to be battered by life's inevitable changes. After all, money comes and goes, and thus is an unstable source of self-esteem, an unreliable foundation upon which to build our identity.

When ever Buddhism has taken root in a new land, there has been a certain variation in the style in which it is observed. The Buddha himself taught differently according to the place, the occasion and the situation of those who were listening to him.
