Kindnessis giving others happiness.Compassionis removing others' bitterness.Joyis freeing others from suffering.
Gautama BuddhaThese teachings are like a raft, to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings, How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind!
Gautama BuddhaCraving brings pain; craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
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
