One act of pure love in saving life is greater than spending the whole of one's time in religious offerings to the gods . . .
Gautama BuddhaThose who awaken never rest in one place. Like swans, they rise and leave the lake. On the air they rise and fly an invisible course. Their food is knowledge. They live on emptiness. They have seen how to break free. Who can follow them?
Gautama BuddhaTherefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
Gautama BuddhaRealizing the doctrine of dependent-arising, the wise do not at all partake of extreme views
