Through our senses the world appears. Through our reactions we create delusions.Without reactions the world becomes clear.
Gautama BuddhaJust as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.
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.
