When one feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil, I tell you, he will not do.
Gautama BuddhaTo be concerned with the issue; soul versus non-soul, is to be in bondage to craving for becoming and non-becoming.
Gautama BuddhaMonks, one thing, if practiced and made much of, conduces to great thrill, great profit, great security after the toil, to mindfulness and self-possession, to the winning of knowledge and insight, to pleasant living in this very life, to the realization of the fruit of release by knowledge. What is that one thing: It is mindfulness centered on the body.
Gautama Buddha
