Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.
Gautama BuddhaAll beings are not only the parents in the past. They will become the Buddha in the future. If you free their lives, you are Buddha.
Gautama BuddhaThose who walk in the Way should avoid sensualism as those who carry hay would avoid coming near the fire.
Gautama BuddhaThe world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.
Gautama Buddha
