Before you've seen it, and when you first see it, it is the greatest thing; afterwards, it is ordinary.
Gautama BuddhaLife is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.
Gautama BuddhaAs an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.
Gautama Buddha
