There are, O monks, these four lights. What four? The light of the moon, the light of the sun, the light of fire, and the light of wisdom. Of these four lights, the light of wisdom is supreme.
Gautama BuddhaDo not be the judge of people; do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgments about others.
Gautama BuddhaWatch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama BuddhaThey are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
