How can a troubled mind Understand the way? If a man is disturbed He will never be filled with knowledge. An untroubled mind, No longer seeking to consider What is right and what is wrong, A mind beyond judgements, Watches and understands. Know that the body is a fragile jar, And make a castle of your mind. In every trial Let understanding fight for you To defend what you have won.
Gautama BuddhaBoth formerly and now, it is only suffering that I describe, and the cessation of suffering.
Gautama BuddhaThe fool says, "These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money." In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.
Gautama BuddhaYet the Teaching is simple. Do what is right. Be pure. At the end of the way is freedom.
Gautama Buddha
