In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create disticntions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
Gautama BuddhaThe Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, for one great cause alone appear in the world. The Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, appear in the world because they wish to cause the beings to hear of the Buddha's knowledge and insight and thus enable them to gain purity. They appear in the world because they wish to demonstrate the Buddha's knowledge and insight to the beings. They appear in the world because they wish to cause the beings to understand. They appear in the world because they wish to cause the beings to enter into the path of the Buddha's knowledge and insight.
Gautama BuddhaFor those who are always courteous and respectful of elders, four things increase: life, beauty, happiness and strength.
