Those who are truly wise will remain unmoved by feelings of happiness and suffering, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, gain and loss.They will remain calm like the eye of a hurricane.
Gautama BuddhaWhoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.
Gautama BuddhaTo be concerned with the issue; soul versus non-soul, is to be in bondage to craving for becoming and non-becoming.
Gautama BuddhaA mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.
Gautama BuddhaJust as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world. One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry. Standing, or going, or seated, or lying down, as long as one is free from drowsiness, one should practice this mindfulness. This, they say, is the holy state here.
Gautama Buddha
