Gautama BuddhaBe quick to do good. If you are slow, the mind, delighting in mischief, will catch you.
Gautama BuddhaThe judgment: You are now before Yama, King of the Dead. In vain will you try to...deny or conceal the evil deeds you have done. ... the mirror in which Yama seems to read your past is your own memory, and also his judgment is your own. It is you yourself who pronounce your own judgment.
Gautama BuddhaShould a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
Gautama BuddhaIf there is only empty space, with no suns nor planets in it, then space loses its substantiality.
Gautama BuddhaDependent Origination is the teaching (that life) is not the mere play of blind chance, but has an existence that is dependent upon conditions. That, precisely with the removal of these conditions, those things that have arisen in dependence upon them-thus also all suffering-must perforce disappear and cease to be.
Gautama Buddha
