In protecting oneself, others are protected; In protecting others, oneself is protected.
Gautama BuddhaEverything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Gautama BuddhaLearn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama BuddhaPeople cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
