If you can keep as silent as a broken gong, then you have attained, when you know no anger.
Gautama BuddhaThus all things are subject to death, sorrow and suffering. I became aware that I too was of the same nature, the nature of beginning and end. What if I searched for that which underlies all creation, that which is nirvana, the perfect freedom from unconditioned existence?
Gautama BuddhaEasy to do are things that are bad and harmful to oneself. But exceedingly difficult to do are things that are good and beneficial.
Gautama BuddhaThose who awaken never rest in one place. Like swans, they rise and leave the lake. On the air they rise and fly an invisible course. Their food is knowledge. They live on emptiness. They have seen how to break free. Who can follow them?
