From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama BuddhaIn exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama BuddhaDo not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Gautama BuddhaThe self of which you speak, whether it is the great self or the small self, is only a concept that does not correspond to any reality.
