When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.
Gautama BuddhaLive happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.
Gautama BuddhaDo not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama BuddhaLife can only take place in the present moment. If we lose the present moment, we lose life.
Gautama BuddhaDo not believe what you have heard Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down many generations Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times Do not believe because the written statements come from some old sage Do not believe in conjecture Do not believe in authority, or teachers, or elders But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.
Gautama Buddha
