If for just the time of a finger-snap a monk produces a thought of loving-kindness, develops it, gives attention to it, such a one is rightly called a monk. Not in vain does he meditate. He acts in accordance with the master's teaching, he follows his advice. How much more so if he cultivates it.
Gautama BuddhaThe grudge you hold on to is like a hot coal that you intend to throw at someone, only you're the one who gets burned.
Gautama BuddhaYou should respect each other and refrain from disputes; you should not, like water and oil, repel each other, but should, like milk and water, mingle together.
Gautama BuddhaTo be concerned with the issue; soul versus non-soul, is to be in bondage to craving for becoming and non-becoming.
Gautama Buddha
