Monks, one thing, if practiced and made much of, conduces to great thrill, great profit, great security after the toil, to mindfulness and self-possession, to the winning of knowledge and insight, to pleasant living in this very life, to the realization of the fruit of release by knowledge. What is that one thing: It is mindfulness centered on the body.
Gautama BuddhaBe a lamp unto yourselves! Work out your liberation with diligence! Fill your mind with compassion!
Gautama BuddhaWhen one drives away the negligent through vigilance, he climbs the heights of wisdom, and can see the suffering masses. Serene, you look upon the lost like one that stands on a mountain sees those that stand upon the plain.
Gautama BuddhaMore than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
Gautama Buddha
