Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.
Gautama BuddhaFor those struggling in midstream, in great fear of the flood, of growing old and of dying for all those I say, an island exists where there is no place for impediments, no place for clinging: the island of no going beyond. I call it nirvana, the complete destruction of old age and dying.
Gautama Buddha
