Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
Gautama BuddhaWords do not express thoughts very well; every thing immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom of one man seems nonsense to another.
Gautama BuddhaA wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Gautama BuddhaDo not accept what you hear by report, do not accept tradition, do not accept a statement because it is found in our books, nor because it is in accord with your belief, nor because it is the saying of your teacher. Be lamps unto yourselves. Those who, either now or after I am dead, shall rely upon themselves only and not look for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who shall reach the topmost height.
Gautama Buddha
